I remotely unlock my Ubuntu 16.04 server after a reboot using a DropBear SSH connection and then I run a script that starts the process of unlocking the LUKS encrypted drives and booting up my server. It's all worked flawlessly for several months (i.e. since initial setup).
Today, after a routine sudo apt-upgrade OS that required a reboot upon completion, I got my usual shell after reboot, but typing the usual unlock command fails with an error:
BusyBox v1.22.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.22.0-15ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
#unlock
kill: you need to specify whom to kill
Connection to (web-url.com) closed.
I had to bring a backup server online for now as I don't get back to the office and thus have physical access to the server for over a week, but does anyone have any ideas what might be broken - and how to fix it (remotely or locally)?
Google has been of no use to me on this so far. Any help appreciated.
