I can't seem to find the proper set of systemd options to set in the service

Suggestions are welcome.
Why not create a shell script that runs the two tasks in sequence and
run it through

Systemd timers can launch tasks with a lot more options than Cron
has. Dependencies and explicit ordering of tasks is actually one of
the big reasons systemd was created. Cron

I would like to run a task (TASKA) that updates some files at a specified time
each day. I already can do that
successfully using systemd timers and services.

propagate any file changes made in TASK A to
other hosts.
