* Get me a list of all system services running.
* Get me their status.
* IF they are running then find me the parent PID number and any other processes that belong to the parent. Get me the last few lines of the logs for those services.
* IF it has failed to start up get me the exit code for the service and then the last few lines of the logs relevant for those processes.

All this stuff is deadly simple with systemd.

systemctl status vdsmd

for example.

This is a huge boost in productivity for system administrators to be able to have all the information in one spot.

I'm not sure I like the adverb "deadly" simple.
