sysz is a shell-based terminal UI that wraps systemctl with fzf for interactively browsing, filtering, and managing systemd units. It supports system and user units, state filtering, multi-select, and context-aware command prompts with automatic sudo.

Use cases

  • interactively manage systemd services from the terminal
  • fuzzy search and filter systemd units
  • start stop restart systemd services with a TUI
  • filter systemd units by state like active or failed
  • manage both system and user systemd units in one place

When to choose

  • you use systemd and want a fast fzf-driven interface over systemctl
  • you frequently browse and act on many units interactively
  • you want automatic sudo handling and state-aware command prompts

When to avoid

  • your system does not use systemd
  • you need a GUI service manager
  • you cannot install fzf and bash >= 4.3
