There is bug in function - function systemd_update_execute local v=$(awk -v minute=$CONFIG_SYSTEMD_MINUTE -v hour=$CONFIG_SYSTEMD_HOUR -v day=$systemd_day ' { print "OnCalendar="day "--*", hour":"minute":42" }' <<< "$l")

The fix is: local v=$(awk -v minute=$CONFIG_SYSTEMD_MINUTE -v hour=$CONFIG_SYSTEMD_HOUR -v day=$systemd_day ' { print "OnCalendar="day,"--*", hour":"minute":42" }' <<< "$l")

OR

local v=$(awk -v minute=$CONFIG_SYSTEMD_MINUTE -v hour=$CONFIG_SYSTEMD_HOUR -v day=$systemd_day ' { print "OnCalendar="day" --*", hour":"minute":42" }' <<< "$l")

How to test: awk -v minute=00 -v hour=03 -v day=Sun ' { print "OnCalendar="day,"--", hour":"minute":42" }' <<< $(echo a) OR awk -v minute=00 -v hour=03 -v day=Sun ' { print "OnCalendar="day" --", hour":"minute":42" }' <<< $(echo a)

Explanation. day is variable, so you don't need add space after that. You can create space adding , after variable or add space at the begin of text " --*-"

Thank you very much for your hint. I struggled with this and finally added following line https://github.com/framps/raspiBackup/blob/14133a129928da24770752bd785e44bf1ae3a671/installation/raspiBackupInstallUI.sh#L4826 which adds an additional space. So it's not a bug.

But I will change the code in next release according your proposal. Your code is much better to read.

I just noticed your proposal doesn't work for daily because there no space should be present.

#   OnCalendar=Sun *-*-* 05:00:42 # on sunday
#   OnCalendar=*-*-* 05:00:42     # daily

Thank you for checking this. It was late night, and I checked only that line. And I didn't notice that if there is no Day defined,then no space is required. Great code anyway, I learned many things from it.
