There is no separate "pause" feature. You can likely implement the wanted functionality with explicit dependencies - create a unit which is only considered "started" when the question has been answered, and make whatever other units you want to start only after that depend on the new unit. ___ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel

It has DefaultDependencies=no and orders itself before sysinit.target and some early-boot services.

[systemd-devel] Service to pause startup and wait for user input
Good Afternoon List, Does anyone know if there is a way to create a service unit that pauses early on in the boot sequence and asks the user a question? A reply would be required via keyboard.
