Services

The systemd units from systemctl: unit, load state, active state, sub-state and description.

  • States: ● active, ✖ failed, ○ inactive, ◌ activating.
  • Search: / filters units, case-insensitively.
  • View: v cycles through all units, loaded units (hiding not-found), and failed units only.
  • Refresh: r asks for a new listing at once.
  • Details: Enter shows the selected unit. The screen is read-only; it never starts, stops or changes a unit.

Services are collected only while this screen is visible, and refreshed each time it is opened, at most every 5 seconds. A systemctl call that hangs is stopped after 10 seconds, so it cannot stall the screen or exit.
