Service Manager

A Service Manager is a tool or utility that allows users to manage system services. Services are background processes that perform specific functions and are often critical for the operating system or applications. Unlike regular applications that run in the foreground and have a user interface, services run in the background and typically start when the system boots up.

It allows users to manage system services via the command line, with capabilities for starting, stopping, restarting, querying the status, and listing services. Additionally, it can set and manage a default service through configuration.

Components of the Script

1. Logging setup
2. Configuration management
3. Service management functions
4. Default service management

Workflow

Initial Setup:

The script may prompt the user to display all services or query the default service settings.

Service Operations:

Based on user input, the script will execute the relevant commands to manage services.

Configuration Updates:

Any changes to the default service are saved to the configuration file, affecting subsequent script runs.
