If we’re using systemd already, why not a timer?

Cron is better known than a systemd timer, but you can provide an example for the timer 😃

Really, the correct way would be to set the limit you want for journald. Put this into /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/00-journal-size.conf:

[Journal]
SystemMaxUse=50M

Or something like this using a timer: systemd-run --timer-property=OnCalender=daily $COMMAND
