Hi everyone, I'm somewhat new to systemd and have a problem. I would like to run a custom script with systemd on startup that will ask me for a password and mount a Truecrypt volume with it. The script and unit file I wrote can be found below.
Now, this setup does work *somewhat* - basically it will ask me for my Truecrypt password on startup and do the mounting as it should. But when I wait a few seconds during startup, entering the password no longer works. I just have a few seconds after the password prompt appearing to enter it; if I wait 5-10 seconds nothing will happen anymore. That seems like weird and unintended behaviour to me. Is this a bug, or can you point me in the right direction about what I'm doing wrong if I want some sort of keyboard interaction during system startup with systemd? I mean, that is a useful and sometimes needed feature, right?
