# Systemd Manager

Systemd Manager is a Gnome Shell Extension which allows you to start/stop systemd services via a menu in the status area in the top panel. You can preselect which services should be shown in the extension preferences dialog.

## Install

Copy folder `[email protected]` into `~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions`.

### Gnome Shell Extensions

The easiest way to install this extension is via the official [Gnome Shell Extensions](https://extensions.gnome.org) resource page [here](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4174/systemd-manager).

### Packages

Arch Linux: [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnome-shell-extension-systemd-manager)

## Authorization

Done via a password prompt from the command `pkexec` of the polkit package. This command usually pops up a graphical password prompt.

### Without Password Prompt

If you would like to be able to start services without getting prompted for a password, you need to configure a polkit policy.

#### Using pkexec (default)

The policy file [org.freedesktop.policykit.pkexec.systemctl.policy](systemd-policies/org.freedesktop.policykit.pkexec.systemctl.policy) allows the execution of `systemctl [start|stop]` without a password

confirmation. Copy the file in your polkit policy folder (usually: `/usr/share/polkit-1/actions`).

#### Using systemctl

You can also choose to use `systemctl` natively and bypass a password prompt. To do this, add the policy file [10-service_status.rules](systemd-policies/10-service_status.rules) to `/etc/polkit-1/rules.d`.

Feel free to change the `wheel` group noted in the file to any other group that you see fit.
