https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/388586/systemd-requires-vs-wants
just replace "Requires" with "Wants", it does exactly the same but your
Tomcat would also get started if "time-sync.target" is missing *but* it
would not be stopped just because ntpd is stopped
there are really very few cases when Requires is really what someone wants
We first tried it with wants, but wants does start the application server even if the time-sync.target does not work.
From the man page:
Units listed in this option will be started if the configuring unit is. However, if the listed units fail to start or cannot be added to the
transaction, this has no impact on the validity of the transaction as a whole, and this unit will still be started. This is the recommended
way to hook the start-up of one unit to the start-up of another unit.
We don't want tomcat to start when time-sync doesn't succeed, but when ntpd restarts it should not influence tomcat.
