# Bash Scripts: Service menu

Stopping and starting services and docker containers can be a pain, so i created a script to make it less irritating and boring to do.

# Use the service-menu (sm) 

# I added the folder where I saved all my scripts to the PATH
# So just enter the following:
service-menu or sm

Something that looks like this or something close to this will be displayed

Service Menu

# Update 2022-02-02

I Updated the service menu with the -r flag and the -s flag

# Usage -r Flag 

sm -r

### This will run the same menu but instead of the the service wither stopping or starting depending on it's status, -r will send a restart command to any of the servies or containes chosen

# Usage -s Flag 

sm -s

### This will run the same menu but instead of the the service wither stopping or starting depending on it's status, -s will send a status / inspect command to any of the servies or containes chosen

# Update 2022-03-05

I updated the service menu with -ss, -r, -s, -rs, -es, -rc and -ec flags. Here is the service menu as it stands now

This script has really been growing with my dev server and it's still the quickest most efficient way to:

  • Start / Stop Services
  • Start / Stop Containers
  • Get the status of a service or to inspect a container
  • Get a list of all my active / inactive services and containers
  • Restart a service or container

When you open the script it's so simple

#service-menu.sh

#!/bin/bash

if [ -z $1 ]; then      # This is true when no param is set
    ACTION="-ss"        
else
	ACTION="$1"
fi
clear;                  # Clear the screen
echo ".__ .___.  . __..___.__ .  .   .  ..___"
echo "|  \[__ \  /(__ [__ [__)\  /   |\/|[__ "
echo "|__/[___ \/ .__)[___|  \ \/  * |  |[___"
echo " "
echo " ";
# Set Heading Depending on the param specified
