[systemd-devel] Can a systemd --user instance rely on After= of systemd --system instance?

As Lennart was pointing out, the user and system instances do not know
anything about each other, so you cannot.

The 2 other options I can think of:

a) Run a system service specifying your user id in User=

b) Enable socket activation (if possible) on the system instance
database. That way your user instance will simply wait on the socket
until the server comes up.
