SystemD Pilot is a desktop application for managing systemd services on GNU/linux machines. The app is very lightweight and supports common tasks such as starting and stopping systemd services.
It can also show detailed status for each service.
Features: List services
Filter by running state
Start, Stop, Restart, Enable and Disable services + show status for each service
Create override configuration for any unit file using the edit button
Option for reloading systemd manager configuration (systemctl daemon-reload)
Easy search. Just start typing and the app will find relevant services
Lightweight
Available for download as deb, rpm and AppImage
Integration into GNOME desktop (libadwaita)
Made with love for the FOSS community. Please give it a try and share your thoughts.

oh it’s not an official thing, that could probably use some more clarification as the name makes it sound like something developed by the systemd people
NO! NO, I WON’T HAVE IT!
I will not give up my command line, obscure, non-obvious commands that control my machine!
It is an abomination that I don’t have to search for, and then wade through hundreds of AI generated pages of useless information just to show me what services are running with systemd!
I am seriously considering starting my own startup system. I am thinking I could initiate (init) runlevels to start subsystems at various stages. If anyone is interested, hit me up.
I can’t tell if you’re taking the piss or not about re-implementing initscripts.
My job here is done 😉
Maybe you can script everything, with convoluted interconnections that are impossible to troubleshoot. Now that would be the way to control all the systems behind impenetrable obfuscation and keep those dratted normies from understanding anything.
wade through hundreds of AI generated pages of useless information
I personally find the best use of AI is to read those pages of useless information and summarise what I actually want to know.
Google: " hugo, show total number of posts not including pages " = advertising, a billion pages of partially but not entirely relevant information that takes ages to wade through.
Gemini: same question: Clear explanation and working examples in seconds.
They’re both google, but one knows what I’m actually trying to say and doesn’t (yet) push advertising at me.
this dude boots 😎
Didn’t know Pedro pascal was a coder
can it do mask/unmask?
Not in this version. I’ll add that and more for the next release.
cool!
Looks neat, does its job.
If you’re a power-user looking at this, you can also look at https://github.com/rgwood/systemctl-tui which is somewhat similar but seems to be more useful (for now), also showing the service logs and being easily navigable with a keyboard.
I miss the days before SystemD, it seemed simpler.
Autoexec.bat or bust!
Does it support per-user systemd services?
It will, in the next release.
I am running a headless server, but still want to make managing my systemd services easier. Any recommendations? I think I’m looking for something that is to
systemdwhathtopis totop🤔EDIT: Thanks for all the recs!
I remember there being a KCM for Plasma Settings that did this sort of thing.
Yes i think it’s called systemdGenie
This is good. We need more GUI tools to keep the noobs out of the terminal. Not only because that gives a better impression, but it also protects them from doing a command wrong and really hurting something.
100% Python, nice.
this sort of thing is exactly what we need, thanks.
Fantastic, Linux needs tools like this for users who need to make occasional changes and inspect
systemd.For inspiration, I would suggest you also look at LaunchControl, which is a GUI tool to administer
launchdon macOS.There are some. COCKPIT would probably suit most people. OpenSUSE has a GUI Services tool built into YAST
Some other projects for the same usage:
https://github.com/KDE/systemdgenie
https://github.com/GuillaumeGomez/systemd-manager
😇
Nice, thanks! So weird these tools are not commonly used - managing systemd remains one of the common terminal PITAs for everyone who doesn’t appreciate the Great Holy Terminal
Funny thing is, that there are many things I prefer the terminal for, but systemd deamons are not these things 😂
Yeah i hate managing systemd stuff because its messy on terminal
Aren’t those defunct? I was looking for examples of exactly this a while back and none of them were being actively maintained.
I use Systemd-Manager since a long time now and it worked always well. But it could well be, that it is unmaintained…
What license are you offering it under?
GPL v3.
Btw add license to the repo and license info to readme
Thanks, will do.
The only right choice! Thanks!
