Works for me!  I’m just wondering if there are ideas we could/should
follow more closely the output of ‘systemctl status’.  IIRC, it displays
a couple of lines for each service; for instance, we could display the
“running” value and dependencies of each service, indented below its
name.

WDYT?  Would that make sense?
