systemctl-tui is a fast terminal user interface for interacting with systemd services, timers and their logs.
It lets you browse unit status, inspect journal output, start, stop, restart and reload services, manage timers, and view or edit unit files. Remote systems can also be managed over SSH without installing systemctl-tui on the remote machine.
