I would like to also express my sincere gratitude. I have a slow encrypted system that used to take a few minutes of a human staring at a screen between two password prompts when a reboot is due, and now there’s no need to wait. Also, now I have to ask: could the kexec --reboot thing get a similar treatment, so that I could reboot a remote machine by providing the password through SSH and not type it there? Best regards, Vivien
