I wrote support/win32/wintty.c to create a console window on the fly for such a dialog, letting the service speak with the user at the console. Obviously, it's win32 specific. But I can't imagine it would be impossible to create a similar tty piped window applet on Unix, if someone is up to the challenge.
Maybe reimplemented as an irssi ncurses window? I was thinking something along these lines earlier trying various ssh Perl scripts but I do not know how to handle detecting the local console versus someone who is ssh'ed in restarting the server (at any rate I have never gotten the Enter Passphrase prompt when using service httpd start) -- bottom line is that some human will have to enter the passphrase manually =( -- WC (Bill) Jones -- http://youve-reached-the.endoftheinternet.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
