How to manage Linux services

[mrdebug]

On Windows there are many apis to manage the services such as
EnumServicesStatusEx
I need to manage (start, stop, isStarted, isStopped) two services, related to my application.
Is there a nice approach, without to use QProcess and console commands?

Hi @mrdebug,

that depends which init system your target Linux uses.

For example systemd (which is used in modern systems like Ubuntu 16.04), provides a D-Bus API

Remember that you need elevated privileges to start/stop services from the command line, I expect the same applies to the API also.
