I created a systemd timer with the following file

/etc/systemd/system/hourly-timer.target [Unit] Description=Hourly Timer Target StopWhenUnneeded=yes

This is not a valid timer. - The filename does not end in .timer - The file does not contain a [Timer] nor an [Install] section

systemd fails to start the timer:

# systemctl start /etc/systemd/system/hourly-timer.timer

This is not the valid syntax for enabling a timer systemctl enable $foo.timer would be correct By using the whole file path (and possibly an invalid one given this path ends in .timer where your above file does not) systemctl is going to think you are trying to reference a mount unit.

Failed to start etc-systemd-system-hourly\x2dtimer.timer.mount: Unit etc-systemd-system-hourly\x2dtimer.timer.mount not found.

This is expected when using invalid syntax - systemctrl thought the filepath was related to a mount point, so tried to find a systemd mount unit related to that mount point. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
