I use systemctl-tui for this. It looks more mature sw than this project.

It seems like services.msc for systemd.

I'd welcome such a tool, but it makes me nervous that it hasn't had any activity at all in three months. Was this just a single-shot effort, and move on?

But all their issues are being tracked tho? The author looks like put it on roadmap

Three months for a utility tool like this is nothing to panic in comments about.

I actually use this tool and it's pretty great, certainly for my needs anyway.

It's fine to mature projects if they're good enough according to author's point of view. No point of fixing something that's not broken. No point of adding features that no one needs.

That goes without saying. But there are a few bug reports and issues that have gone without a response for months. It seems abandoned, rather than finished to perfection. Not to mention that systemd is a moving target, with new features released quite often.

I had a look at the issues. I see comments added to each one of them. Some of them are already on the roadmap.

I tried making a similar project using Qt that would support a host of different init systems, but I unfortunately found that due to the available APIs and differing architectures of the different init systems, a consistent UI was really difficult. Systemd in particular didn't have a dbus API for logs.
