Simple python D-Bus API to control systemd services

Prerequisities

This packages uses D-Bus to control systemd. You need to have D-Bus itself and its python bindings in order to use this library. For example, on Ubuntu you need to install the following packages:

sudo apt install dbus libdbus-glib-1-dev libdbus-1-dev python-dbus

The setup.py does not contain the python-dbus dependency and you have to install it manually.

Example
from sysdmanager import SystemdManager

manager = SystemdManager()
if not manager.is_active("bluetooth.service"):
    manager.start_unit("bluetooth.service")

API
  • SystemdManager().start_unit(unit_name, mode="replace")
    • unit_name - a string in form of '*.service'
    • mode - start mode. One of replace, fail, isolate, ignore-dependencies, ignore-requirements. Details here
    • returns bool representing operation success
  • SystemdManager().stop_unit(unit_name, mode="replace")
    • unit_name - a string in form of '*.service'
    • mode - start mode. One of replace, fail, isolate, ignore-dependencies, ignore-requirements. Details here
    • returns bool representing operation success
  • SystemdManager().enable_unit(unit_name)
    • unit_name - a string in form of '*.service'
    • returns bool representing operation success
  • SystemdManager().disable_unit(unit_name)
    • unit_name - a string in form of '*.service'
    • returns bool representing operation success
  • SystemdManager().is_active(unit_name)
