Under systemd all services run in a defined context. This also means you can't prompt for input by reading from the console. # X-Interactive: true as used by the netenv sysv init script does not work by design. See [1]: " 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) " A grep over the archive shows apache2/init.d/apache2:# X-Interactive: true console-common/init.d/keymap.sh:# X-Interactive: true cryptsetup/init.d/cryptdisks:# X-Interactive: true cryptsetup/init.d/cryptdisks-early:# X-Interactive: true drbd8-utils/init.d/drbd:# X-Interactive: true initscripts/init.d/checkfs.sh:# X-Interactive: true initscripts/init.d/checkroot.sh:# X-Interactive: true kbd/init.d/kbd:# X-Interactive: true keyboard-configuration/init.d/console-setup:# X-Interactive: true keyboard-configuration/init.d/keyboard-setup:# X-Interactive: true live-config-sysvinit/init.d/live:# X-Interactive: true live-config-sysvinit/init.d/live-config:# X-Interactive: true lxc/init.d/lxc:# X-Interactive: true netenv/init.d/netenv:# X-Interactive: true openvpn/init.d/openvpn:# X-Interactive: true sysv-rc/init.d/README:# X-Interactive: true cryptsetup support is built-in, console-setup/kbd do not really need to prompt. Remains openvpn and apache2 which potentially require it to unlock SSL certificates, but openvpn now ships a native service file. That leaves netdev. Tbh I don't know what to do about that. The password agents [2] were designed to prompt for passphrases, not to select from a list from pre-defined values. So they are not applicable to the case. While you can change a service file's StandardInput= setting so it actually get's access to the console during boot, a "systemctl start netdev.service" in you terminal emulator does not work with that either afair. But for this case you could simply provide a command-line tool like netenv-select or so As a closing remark, let me add that it is generally discouraged to prompt for input during boot.
