Regarding integration - for a long time I've been interested in adding support to System Activity (ctrl+esc thingy). In Windows, the task manager has a tab for both processes and for services, and you can switch between the two. So you can right click on a process and jump to its service, and vice versa. This integration makes a lot of sense since its often better to stop the service than to just kill the process.
I've been somewhat waiting for the fight between upstart and systemd to be resolved, and also it would be good to have the following DBUS calls available to non-root users: 1) Return a list of currently running / stopped / runnable / etc services 2) Provide user-friendly information about each service. (Short description that I can show to the user) 3) Provide a list of PIDs for a given service 4) Return the service for a given PID Can these calls be added if necessary please? JohnFlux
