systemd start stop enable and disable multiple services with one target unit

I have created a target file /etc/systemd/system/watch-for-sync-need-all.target [Unit] Description=systemd target to group services for all folders that create a sync need by changes After=multi-user.target Wants=watch-for-sync-need@_sl_home_sl_.service Wants=watch-for-sync-need@_sl_stream_sl_.service [Install] Also=watch-for-sync-need@_sl_home_sl_.service Also=watch-for-sync-need@_sl_stream_sl_.service Its purpose is to be able to start, stop, enable or disable all in the target specified systemd template services /etc/systemd/system/watch-for-sync-need@.service [Unit] Description=watch sync folders for changes then flag sync need and set rtcwake BindsTo=watch-for-sync-need-all.target After=watch-for-sync-need-all.target [Service] User=root Group=root Type=simple ExecStart=/bin/bash /etc/custom/notify-on-change %i Restart=on-failure RestartSec=3 [Install] WantedBy=watch-for-sync-need-all.target In case it has to deal with my problem I post the called script content of /etc/custom/notify-on-change #! /usr/bin/env bash inotifywait -q -m -r -e modify,delete,create "${1//_sl_//}" | while read DIRECTORY EVENT FILE do echo "yes" > /etc/custom/log/sync-needed bash /etc/custom/set-rtcwake systemctl stop watch-for-sync-need-all.target done If there is a change in the folders /home/ or /stream/ inotifywait notices that, flags a sync need, sets a computer self wakeup in the upcoming night at 3 o'clock and stops the services. (There is a cronjob on the machine that syncs to another computer at some minutes past 3 o'clock, if a sync need is flagged. The computer shuts itself down, when not used. Like that, I can work on my computer and make changes in /home/ or /stream/ and then and only then a sync will be started shortly automatically.) My Problem is, that I can't enable my target adequately. The target can be started or stopped without problems. That means, that both "sub"-units are running. Enabling does not give out any warnings and creates corresponding links in the directory /etc/systemd/system/watch-for-sync-need-all.target.wants but when my machine boots, the "sub"-units are not running. After a new boot I get the following output of systemctl status watch-for-sync-need-all.target watch-for-sync-need-all.target - systemd target to group services for all folders that create a sync need by ch> Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/watch-for-sync-need-all.target; indirect; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead)enter code here or systemctl status watch-for-sync-need@_sl_home_sl.service watch-for-sync-need@_sl_home_sl.service - watch sync folders for changes then flag sync need and set rtcwake Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/watch-for-sync-need@.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) How can I make systemd start the target (all "sub"-units) at system boot?
