This library can be used to manage systemd services. Internally it uses the [Symfony Process Component](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/process.html) for running the `systemctl` command.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 7.0 or higher
- `systemd` installed

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Run the following composer command in your project:

```
composer require mjanser/systemctl
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Example usage:

```
$service = new SystemCtl\Service('my-service');

if ($service->isRunning()) {
    $service->stop();
} else {
    $service->start();
}

$service->restart();
```

By default the command `systemctl` will be executed with `sudo`. You can change that if you need.

```
SystemCtl\Service::setCommand('my-systemctl');
SystemCtl\Service::sudo(false);
```
