A fzf terminal UI for systemctl
Demo
Features
VERSION: 1.4.3

- Supports all unit types.
- Units ordered by service, timer, socket, and the rest.
- Runs
sudoautomatically and only if necessary. - Filter units by state using
ctrl-sor the--stateoption. - Run
daemon-reloadwithctrl-r. - Has short versions of systemctl commands to reduce typing.
- Runs status after other commands (start, stop, restart, etc).
- Select multiple units, states, and commands using
TAB. - Only prompts commands based on current state (e.g. show "start" only if the unit is inactive).

A utility for using systemctl interactively via fzf.
Usage: sysz [OPTS...] [CMD] [-- ARGS...]
sudo is invoked automatically, if necessary.
If only one unit is chosen, available commands will be presented
based on the state of the unit (e.g. "start" only shows if unit is "active").
OPTS:
-u, --user Only show --user units
--sys, --system Only show --system units
-s STATE, --state STATE Only show units in STATE (repeatable)
-V, --verbose Print the systemctl command
-v, --version Print the version
-h, --help Print this message
If no options are given, both system and user units are shown.
CMD:
start systemctl start <unit>
stop systemctl stop <unit>
r, restart systemctl restart <unit>
s, stat, status systemctl status <unit>
ed, edit systemctl edit <unit>
reload systemctl reload <unit>
en, enable systemctl enable <unit>
d, dis, disable systemctl disable <unit>
c, cat systemctl cat <unit>
If no command is given, one or more can be chosen interactively.
ARGS are passed to the systemctl command for each selected unit.
Keybindings:
TAB Toggle selection.
ctrl-v 'cat' the unit in the preview window.
ctrl-s Select states to match. Selection is reset.
ctrl-r Run daemon-reload. Selection is reset.
ctrl-p History previous.
ctrl-n History next.
? Show keybindings.
History:
sysz is stored in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/sysz/history
This can be changed with the environment variable: SYSZ_HISTORY
Some units are colored based on state:
green active
red failed
yellow not-found
Examples:
sysz -u User units
sysz --sys -s active Active system units
sysz --user --state failed Failed user units
Examples with commands:
sysz start Start a unit
sysz --sys s Get the status of system units
sysz --user edit Edit user units
sysz s -- -n100 Show status with 100 log lines
sysz --sys -s active stop Stop an active system unit
sysz -u --state failed r Restart failed user units

Thank you for ShellCheck without which this would be a buggy mess.
