This host has no cron daemon (it is systemd-based), so schedule export-runner.sh via a
systemd timer rather than cron. cron-export.sh wraps the run with a sane PATH, flock
serialisation (no overlapping runs), and per-run logs under runtime/logs/. The timer is
Persistent, so a 03:30 run missed because the machine was asleep/off is caught up on the
next boot -- which plain cron does not do.
- scripts/cron-export.sh: scheduled-run wrapper.
- deploy/systemd/ctrader-export.{service,timer}: the units (install: sudo cp into
/etc/systemd/system/ then enable -- see deploy/systemd/README.md).

Scheduled export (systemd timer)
Runs scripts/export-runner.sh once a day at 03:30 via a systemd timer (this host
has no cron daemon; the timer is native and, unlike cron, catches up a missed run with
Persistent=true if the machine was asleep/off at 03:30).
ctrader-export.service runs scripts/cron-export.sh as user brummel (a wrapper that
sets a sane PATH, serialises with flock, and logs into runtime/logs/).
Install (one-time, needs sudo)
sudo cp deploy/systemd/ctrader-export.service deploy/systemd/ctrader-export.timer \
/etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now ctrader-export.timer
Verify / operate
systemctl list-timers ctrader-export.timer # next/last fire time
systemctl status ctrader-export.service # last run result
journalctl -u ctrader-export.service # service-level logs
ls -t runtime/logs/ # per-run export logs
sudo systemctl start ctrader-export.service # run once now, on demand
sudo systemctl disable --now ctrader-export.timer # stop scheduling
Paths in the unit files are absolute (/home/brummel/dev/cTrader). If the repo moves,
update ExecStart in ctrader-export.service and re-run the install steps.
