Soplos System Service

Overview

Soplos System Service is a GTK3 graphical front-end for systemd. It provides a two-tab interface — Services and Logs — with a CSD HeaderBar, Soplos-standard footer showing the Desktop Environment and display protocol, and a pulse-mode progress bar during listing and operations. The dark or light theme is detected before pkexec elevation and forwarded via SOPLOS_COLOR_SCHEME, ensuring correct colors when running as root under XFCE, KDE or GNOME.

Services Tab

The Services tab lists all systemd units in a sortable TreeView with color-coded status rows and context-aware action buttons.

• Color-coded status: Active services are shown in green, failed and not-found units in red, making the state of every service immediately visible at a glance.
• Smart action buttons: Start, Stop, Restart, Enable and Disable buttons are activated or greyed out automatically based on the current state of the selected service. All controls remain disabled until a service is selected.
• Sortable columns: Click any column header to sort the list by unit name, load state, active state or sub-state.

Logs Tab

The Logs tab displays the journalctl output for the selected service in a monospace text view. Select a service in the Services tab and switch to Logs to read its journal entries in real time.

• Per-service journal: Fetches the journalctl output scoped to the selected unit via journalctl -u <service>.
• Monospace display: Log output is rendered in a fixed-width font for easy reading of timestamps, process names and log messages.
