Maybe the work day is already to long. I can not find a solution for following requirement.
How to apply a "Requires" with an instantiated service.
Example:
a@.service b.service
a@.service is started as a@host1.service and b.service must be started after a@host1.service but the unit will be differently parameterized (depended of the region). So I want to generalize the requires statement.
My dropin file in ./b.service.d/dep.conf looks like
[Unit] Requires="a@*.service"
This just produces following error: 'Failed to add dependency on "a@*.service", ignoring: Invalid argument'
I use also a Before=b.service statement for a@.service but that is not enough.
Any hints?
-- Thanks, Leon

You might also ask on the systemd list:
