no, unfortunately not:

$ head -n 20 /usr/sbin/cryptdisks_start 
#!/bin/sh

# cryptdisks_start - wrapper around cryptsetup which parses
# /etc/crypttab, just like mount parses /etc/fstab.

# Initial code and (c) 2007 Jon Dowland <jon at alcopop.org>

set -e

export LOUD=yes

if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
	echo "usage: $0 <name>" >&2
	echo >&2
	echo "reads /etc/crypttab and starts the mapping corresponding to
<name>" >&2
	exit 1
fi

~ $ cryptdisks_start media500
Starting crypto disk...done.

Greetings,
Joachim
