SysD Manager

This application exists to easily allow user to manage their systemd units via a GUI. Not only are you able to make changes to the enablement and running status of each of the units, but you will also be able to view and modify their unit files and check the journal logs.

Features

Here are Sysd Manager main features :

• Enable or disable a unit
• Activate or desactivate a unit
• View and modify unit file
• List of all running units, ordered by the time they took to initialize systemd-analyze blame

Note if you need a feature communicate with the author or contribute to the project. If you're stuck take a look at systemctl.

Requirement

Any Linux distribution that has adopted systemd.
