LaunchRocket looks like a pretty nice software for managing services on MacOS (source on github).

Here is a screenshot of LaunchRocket

You can easily stop and start services from this app. So here is my question:

Does anyone know an equivalent gui on for Linux / Ubuntu?

Can you just use system-monitor (pre-installed), its closer to Windows task manager but can start/stop services

Or open a terminal and run

another I found is Boot-Up Manager (BUM) It looks simple, may suit your needs

sudo apt-get install bum

I know it says boot up but can stop start services too.

There is also jobs-admin, says it is like bum but simpler

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jpeddicord/jobtools && apt-get update

sudo apt-get install jobs-admin jobservice 

Can't find much about that one.

  • Thank you for your answer :) But I am really looking for something more user friendly and which could eventually propose only process like mysql, apache, elasticsearch, etc.

  • I dont understand why did you propose Nitro tasks. From what I can see, it's mainly a todo lists app. Did I miss something?

  • I found it on google, guess its the wrong type of "task manager" sorry.
