This should be very useful for mounting e.g. crypto disk or starting apache with SSL with certificate password.... or something like that. What I see in the opensuse 13.1 distribution is that this utility (/usr/bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent --watch) is invoked whenever you try to restart /etc/init.d/ntp. What happen is a temporary hang in the script subroutine: function add_runtime_server() { /usr/sbin/sntp -s $@ NTPC_CMD="keyid $NTP_KEYID\npasswd $NTP_PASSWD\naddserver $@\n" NTPDC_LOG=$(echo -e "${NTPC_CMD}quit" | $NTPDC_BIN) logger -t $0 "runtime configuration: $NTPDC_LOG" } that when is invoked cause the launch of systemd-tty-ask-password-agent process that wait something for a minute (!) until it have a timeout and the init script finish its process. Here it is what I debugged with set -x in bash: [...] Aug 28 14:09:27 linux-zbzu ntp[5092]: + echo -n 'Starting network time protocol daemon (NTPD)' Aug 28 14:09:27 linux-zbzu ntp[5092]: Starting network time protocol daemon (NTPD)+ parse_symlink Aug 28 14:09:27 linux-zbzu ntp[5092]: + '[' -c '' ']' Aug 28 14:09:27 linux-zbzu ntp[5092]: + test no = yes Aug 28 14:09:27 linux-zbzu ntp[5092]: + startproc /usr/sbin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntp/ntpd.pid -g -u ntp:ntp -c /etc/ntp.conf Aug 28 14:09:27 linux-zbzu ntp[5092]: + '[' -n /etc/ntp.keys ']' Aug 28 14:09:27 linux-zbzu ntp[5092]: + runtime_configuration Aug 28 14:09:27 linux-zbzu ntp[5092]: + for f in '/var/run/ntp/servers*' Aug 28 14:09:27 linux-zbzu ntp[5092]: + '[' -r /var/run/ntp/servers-netconfig ']' Aug 28 14:09:27 linux-zbzu ntp[5092]: + . /var/run/ntp/servers-netconfig Aug 28 14:09:27 linux-zbzu ntp[5092]: ++ RUNTIME_SERVERS=time Aug 28 14:09:27 linux-zbzu ntp[5092]: + ntp_server=' time' Aug 28 14:09:27 linux-zbzu ntp[5092]: + '[' -n ' time' ']' Aug 28 14:09:27 linux-zbzu ntp[5092]: + for s in '${ntp_server}' Aug 28 14:09:27 linux-zbzu ntp[5092]: + add_runtime_server time Aug 28 14:09:27 linux-zbzu ntp[5092]: + /usr/sbin/sntp -s time Aug 28 14:09:27 linux-zbzu ntp[5092]: 28 Aug 14:09:27 sntp[5106]: Started sntp then I you place a ps auxwwwf: root 2757 0.0 0.4 11460 3632 ?
