Some systemd service files are provided to automatically run the scripts. They are provided in the systemd-service folder.

The service file is the one running the script. The timer file allows the service to be run at a specific time.

You can also change the timer files, by default it will run the script every day at 2 am.

```

systemctl --user daemon-reload

# one time run

systemctl --user start youtube-archiver_channels.service

# activating the timers

systemctl --user enable --now youtube-archiver_channels.timer

systemctl --user enable --now youtube-archiver_playlists.timer

# see the status of either the service or the timer

systemctl --user status youtube-archive_playlists.service

systemctl --user status youtube-archive_playlists.timer

```
