Their main purpose is to convert configuration and execution context parameters that are not native to the service manager into dynamically generated unit files, symlinks or unit file drop-ins, so that they can extend the unit file hierarchy the service manager subsequently loads and operates on. > > And what should I put in the timer file to express “when a password is > > asked”? > > > In fact, what relation do you see between a timer and cryptsetup asking > > for a password? > > > } Harmfull text > > (Anyway, this is what my personal robot explained to me Do mankind a favor and next time start with expressing that. > and may be subject to imperfection and error.)
