Overview

Utilizing one of dmenu-like apps, presents a menu of user units, then actions to be performed on the selected one.

Supported actions include standard systemctl actions (applicabilty may vary with different units): start, reload, restart, stop, kill, reset-failed, enable, disable, freeze, thaw, mask, unmask.

There are also custom actions: silence, unsilence. These can be used to modify unit's logging behavior by selectively suppressing stdout or stderr writing to journal.

If daemon reload action is detected to be needed, it would be suggested before unit selection.
