<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>elogind-time-wait-sync</filename> is a system service that delays the start of units that depend on
<filename>time-sync.target</filename> until <filename>elogind-timesyncd.service</filename> or something else has
set the system time and marked it as synchronized. Reaching this state generally requires synchronization with an
external source, such as an NTP server.</para>
<para>When this unit is not enabled the <filename>time-sync.target</filename> synchronization point may be reached
as soon as the system time is advanced by <filename>elogind-timesyncd.service</filename> to the time stored at the
last shutdown. That time may not meet the expectations of dependent services that require an accurate
clock.</para>
</refsect1>

<title>Notes</title>
<para>This service works correctly with a time synchronization service like
<filename>elogind-timesyncd.service</filename> that uses the same protocol as NTP to set the time from a
synchronized source. When used with time synchronization services that follow a different protocol the event of
setting synchronized time may not be detected in which case this service will not complete.</para>
