pam_mount decrypt the disk using the password the user input in the login screen of the OS. Now in the moment I'm logged in and the disk is decrypted how can I make cron see the disk? I'm not interested in having cron running jobs when I'm not logged in (and so the disk is encrypted).
I guess that your question arise from the fact that cron can run jobs when the user is not logged in, but it's a scenario I'm not interested in. Actually my jobs run with anacron. Possibly /etc/pam.d/crond deals with this last case. If this is not the solution, do you have any other solution to deal with this problem?
