Feature request : task-lamp and a gui tool to enable services

[Adrian]

Yeah, let's not do an yad app...

What about something like this?

Info box is more relevant for systemd, I might hide it for sysvinit...

That looks better.

Hello mxlinux team. I come from mageia linux which is famous for having an excellent control center. mx tools is on bar with it , however it lacks a tool to enable and disable services .

What about something like this https://github.com/MX-Linux/mx-service- ... _amd64.deb
This is just a preview of a new tool, it's in no way finished. It lacks icon, translations, the interface might change, we might not release it anyway....

Thank you @Adrian !! It started for me from the menu, asked for Authentication, but then went away. Starting from terminal it works, and looks REALLY NICE !!!! ++++1 !! :-) ( same on both mx21 and mx 23)

Yeah, I probably messed up the .desktop file, I will update that. Again, it's just a "draft"...

There is already a tool I think might meet the OP's wishes. It's called the System Monitoring Center or the system-monitoring-center package. It reminds me of the the Services utility in Windows. Not sure if this is what the OP wants or not. The Services tab is 1 of 5 tabs. I like it as a way to monitor the system overall.

That's a nice tool, it doesn't show services in sysvinit though.

Thanks for the heads up!

I always use systemd which I got from the Raspberry Pi. In fact I was surprised there was a different service standard when I discovered some distros don't use systemd. I haven't bothered to learn sysinit.

I love the new mx service manager . However it should show the service description . This can be achieved by showing a tool tip when you hover over the name of the service. Mageia service manager, which inspired this great tool, does this.
