- Start a transient service:
`sudo systemd-run {{command}} {{argument1 argument2 ...}}`
- Start a transient service under the service manager of the current user (no privileges):
`systemd-run --user {{command}} {{argument1 argument2 ...}}`
- Start a transient service with a custom unit name and description:
`sudo systemd-run --unit={{name}} --description={{string}} {{command}} {{argument1 argument2 ...}}`
- Start a transient service that does not get cleaned up after it terminates with a custom environment variable:
`sudo systemd-run --remain-after-exit --set-env={{name}}={{value}} {{command}} {{argument1 argument2 ...}}`
- Start a transient timer that periodically runs its transient service (see `man systemd.time` for calendar event format):
`sudo systemd-run --on-calendar={{calendar_event}} {{command}} {{argument1 argument2 ...}}`
