+ When used with
+ start and related
+ commands, disables asking for
+ passwords. Background services may
+ require input of a password or
+ passphrase string, for example to
+ unlock system hard disks or
+ cryptographic certificates. Unless
+ this option is specified and the
+ command is invoked from a terminal
+ systemctl will
+ query the user on the terminal for the
+ necessary secrets. Use this option to
+ switch this behaviour off. In this
+ case the password must be supplied by
+ some other means (for example
+ graphical password agents) or the
+ service might fail.
