I seem to be struggling with what should be a very basic operation.  I've seen 
similar questions posted to the list here and none of them are really adequate.

I'm trying to prompt the user to ask a question as the system is coming up (so 
the system can configure it's network and other things based on a hostname the 
user enters).

I have this part working using system-ask-password which is executed using a 
oneshot/idle service unit.  However before the user can enter their response on 
the console the graphic display starts up.  In the unit file I've tried all 
sorts of combinations of Requires, After, WantedBy, RequiredBy, etc. to make 
the graphical.target happen only after this script has completed its execution 
to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.  I've thought of creating a new custom target 
and putting my service in it.  Is there a way to force another target not to 
start until another target is completely finished?

Just wondering why this sort of operation is so hard.

Thanks,
Kevin
