on systemctl stop decisionengine we see /usr/bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent --watch run

On Alma9 when stopping the decision engine under systemctl control we see the following process get spawned
as a child of the systemctl stop decisionengine process

[root@fermicloud814 ~]# pstree -pl 2739691
systemctl(2739691)───systemd-tty-ask(2739692)
[root@fermicloud814 ~]# ps -ef | grep systemd-tty-ask
root 2739692 2739691 0 08:08 pts/0 00:00:00 /usr/bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent --watch
root 2740021 2739761 0 08:10 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto systemd-tty-ask

it sits there for about 1-2 minutes and then times out and the decisionengine is stopped.

It's not clear why this would be doing this.

verified this is still happening.. need to check in the next release.

IT appears that this is the core reason why it is happening:

ExecStop = /usr/bin/echo "Running /usr/bin/de-client --stop" >&2
ExecStop = /usr/bin/de-client --stop

The "echo" command presumes you have a tty.. in this case it appears that you don't.
IF you just run the de-client --stop, this doesn't happen.
