The atopacct unit (systemctl cat atopacct) has an explicit "Before: atop.service" listed. So, systemd SHOULD take care of starting atopacctd first before atop is started. Can you please verify (maybe from syslog?) that the start order is actually wrong when you encounter the situation of misbehavior? Just two possibly stupid questions: (1) are you actually running systemd as PID 1 or did you decide to still use sysv init? (2) psacct is installed or not?
