People wantings things does not mean what they want is correct.
Ok, now this actually has a lot to do with the RFC. I read on systemd's page:
Services cannot read from stdin, as this will be connected to /dev/null. That means interactive init scripts are not supported (i.e. Debian's X-Interactive in the LSB header is not supported either.) Thankfully most distributions do not support interaction in init scripts anyway. If you need interaction to ask disk or SSL passphrases please consider using the minimal password querying framework systemd supports. (details, manual page)
I seem to recall system rescue and live dvds using that interactivity to query the user at boot time what to do or to provide an emergency shell. How is that handled with systemd? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
