Bug#1137431: ntpsec: ntpwait fails immediately if ntpsec service has not yet started

[Richard Laager]

I'll forward this upstream to see what they think about the intended behavior.

I recommend you do the following:



[Unit]
Requires=time-sync.target
After=time-sync.target

2. Enable ntpsec-wait.service

1. Change your task from cron to a systemd .service / .timer pair. In your .service, have: ntp-wait.service is ordered After=ntpsec.service and Before=time-sync.target. Since your service will be After=time-sync.target, it will not start until ntp-wait.service has completed. time-sync.target is a systemd standard thing. This indirection allows other services to express that they want the time synchronized without having to know which implementation is in use.
