You could use the option -k, but that would keep it going even when we have a service depending on the failed service. But it is also highly undesireable to not start other services that do not depend on the failed service. I am not really sure if this issue is going to be solved so gracefully.
Er, -k should not attempt to make any target depending on a failed target.
At least, it doesn't when building programs. I don't see why this should
