Graphical front end for systemd
For those who dislike the command line and prefer graphical applications there is a front end available for systemd:
sudo apt install systemd-uihttps://packages.debian.org/jessie/systemd-ui
Use the `systemadm` command to run the program.
It lists all the available .services, .sockets, .targets, etc and offers a simple push-button interface to stop, start and reload them.
There is also the possibility to take "snapshots" of the running services and restore them at a later date (I haven't tried this though).

Re: Graphical front end for systemd
Sweet! Thank you HoaS. 
Now if we could just get something like gnome-logs so we could view the systemd journal in a gui.

Re: Graphical front end for systemd
So use gnome-logs. It doesn't require gnome-session and has very few dependencies. Run it as root via gksu gnome-logs.
No, he can't sleep on the floor. What do you think I'm yelling for?!!!

Re: Graphical front end for systemd
Interesting, that is available in testing/unstable:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/cme
Looks like the dependencies are all perl stuff so it may be possible to install the .deb file directly with gdebi in jessie/BunsenLabs, I will check later.

Installed it today and I like it. Thanks again! Now maybe I can pin down the cause of the intermittent system haults (no response from keyboard or pointing device, video freezes) on both of my ASUS machines.
There is also an other GUI for systemd:
That's a configuration tool for systemd. gnome-logs shows the results, errors or otherwise, of running or starting services. Interesting info, though. Thank you for sharing.
