Escape in systemd.timer
I have trouble to escape the following part of my systemd.timer
--files-from=<(ssh -p 182 web-iot.com 'find /mnt/backups/postgresql/box/snapshots/ -mtime -7 -type f -exec basename {} ;')
tried so far:
--files-from=\<(ssh -p 182 web-iot.com \'find /mnt/backups/postgresql/box/snapshots/ -mtime -7 -type f -exec basename {} ;\')
without success, i could use a shell file but i think it should be possible.
Full systemd.timer exec:
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/rsync
--verbose
--archive
--times
--partial
--delete
--progress
--bwlimit=7000
--rsh="ssh -p 182"
--files-from=\<(ssh -p 182 web-iot.com 'find /mnt/backups/postgresql/box/snapshots/ -mtime -7 -type f -exec basename {} ;')
web-iot.com:/mnt/backups/postgresql/box/snapshots/

<( ) is process substitution, it's a special Bash syntax (also in some other shells, but not in dash). Systemd doesn't use a shell to run the command in Exec* lines, and it only does some minimal processing itself (including very specific variable expansion, templating, etc.).
So you cannot use <( ) in the ExecStartPre line directly. At the very least, you'll have to wrap it in a shell:
ExecStartPre=/bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/rsync
--verbose
--archive
--times
--partial
...
(and escape accordingly). Then systemd will run bash, and bash will process the process substitution.
But it would be better to use a shell script here.
