Is there a GUI tool for managing systemd on Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver)?












6















Is there a GUI tool for managing systemd on Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver)?



I want to be able so see the status of services and/or units (and/or whatever else systemd calls them).



Ideally, I could also filter so as to only display running services. Also filter to only display enabled services.



Apparently, Ubuntu 16.04 had systemd-ui, which I never used.



This article from 2011 mentions some other tools that existed long ago on various Linux distributions.



If there is not a GUI tool, is there a curses tool?



I want to be able to quickly review a list of running and enabled services, and in as few key presses as possible, stop and disable the services/units that I don't want.



Thanks!

          I'm not aware of one. It doesn't get much faster than than the CLI commands though:



          systemctl status
          systemctl stop some-service
          systemctl disable some-service

            systemctl --type service --state running gives a proper list of services which are currently running.

          I wrote a Lua + whiptail script that can display, stop, and disable Systemd units. The script is here:

            If you are using amd64 system, you can download the packages systemd-ui_3-4_amd64.deb and systemd-gui_3-4_all.deb from Xenial Repository and manually install with apt:



            sudo apt install ./systemd-ui_3-4_amd64.deb
            sudo apt install ./systemd-gui_3-4_all.deb


            I did this and worked like a charm.
