About

Serman is a simple dialog-based systemd service manager. It provides an easy way to manage services with an overview of what is currently enabled, running, etc.

The package currently includes the original version of serman based on the dialog and a complete rewrite using Python’s ncurses library. The latter is installed as serman2 for testing. It will soon replace the current version of serman.
