[systemd-devel] How to ensure a systemd unit waits for ntpd to sync before starting?

[Debraj Manna]

Thanks again for all the replies.

I am on Ubuntu 16.04 which is using systemd version 239. It appears to me
that systemd-time-wait-sync.service is not present on this version of
systemd.

I have one more question related to this. If I switch to using systemd's
timesyncd.service then in my service unit file I can use

After=time-sync.target
Wants=time-sync.target

Can someone let me know for how long will the unit wait for ntp sync to
happen before giving up ? Is there a way we can control this?
