The test module force_cron_run was created in order to execute cron jobs on a controlled environment so that planned tasks on the SUT could not affect the performance of other modules, when those tasks were executed in parallel.

Since Leap/SLE 15, a next step "migrating" into systemd causes that some of those planned maintenance tasks are executed as systemd timers and then we are seeing again those performance issues that were handled by force_cron_run.

The test module was adapted to the systemd changes and now it also handles systemd timers. So the name of the module force_cron_run has to be changed to something that includes both cases.

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: The test module force_cron_run is renamed to force_maintenance_tasks_run.
• AC2: The schedule of the renamed module is not altered.
