Services Information and Management on Polybar

This scripts add "icon" and "number"(services count) on polybar. With mouse clicking, you can start, stop and restart services with dmenu.

Requirements

• polybar, of course.
• dmenu
• systemd

Installation

Copy services.sh file to ~/.config/polybar/scripts/.

Add custom module to polybar's config.

[module/services]
type = custom/script
exec = systemctl --type=service --state=running list-units --no-pager | grep running | wc -l
interval = 10
label =  %output%
click-left = ~/.config/polybar/scripts/services.sh

Here we go, remember to restart polybar's config.

Todo

• Use script file as exec. So no more long exec line on polybar.
• Show service status on dmenu
• Add support for other menu packages.
