How to have an /etc/xdg/autostart/app.desktop service wait for a systemd service?
Long:
I have an app started by /etc/xdg/autostart/app.desktop that requires a systemd service to be started first.
I would like to avoid some sleep/wait/custom code if there is an existing tool for such purposes.
Is there some kind of wait_for_service_to_be_running <service-name> (systemd) command line tool?

Create yourservice.service file, place it into /etc/systemd/system/ and run systemctl start yourservice by your .desktop file.
[Unit]
Requires=somesystemd.service
After=somesystemd.service
[Service]
ExecStart=/path/to/yourservice
Or you can replace app.desktop with systemd configuration. Create replacement.service as above with additional section:
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Then run it with systemctl enable replacement.service.
Systemd service - what is `multi-user.target` can give more details.
