I would like to run a task (TASKA) that updates some files at a

Upon completion of TASKA, I want to run TASKB with is an rsync command
to propagate any file changes made in TASK A to
other hosts. TASKA may run quickly or slowly, so I don't want to use a
timer for TASKB, rather I want TASKB to execute
upon the completion of TASKA.
I can't seem to find the proper set of systemd options to set in the
service file for TASKB to cause it to run upon
completion of TASKA.
Suggestions are welcome.
That sounds like a classic usage case for a cron job. One script the does the two tasks
one after the other.
Why make it more complicated than that?
