    I am days into trying to figure out how why systemd just won’t start services after another service has successfully been run. I want service A to run, finish successfully and then service B to start. I’ve tries requires, wants, after and their reverse. I’ve tries paths with PathChanged and other things I’ve forgotten now. Either service B won’t start because it’s not WantedBy some target, but if I add that then it simply ignores the After, Requires, and Wants, and PathChanged to start anyway when the target has started.

    It’s maddening. Why are there so many conditions that express nearly the same thing but do so in such subtle ways that only testing will expose what it truly is, and sometimes not even that helps because obviously something else is missing but it won’t say what. And AI of course has no fucking clue how to help.

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
