Services action: handle and list services that are managed by Plinth

Sunil Mohan Adapa requested to merge fonfon:services-action into master

Created by: fonfon

This is the first part of a service overhaul. It introduces an action script to list plinth services, and handle (enable/disable/..) them.

  • API: start, stop, enable, disable, reload, is-running, is-enabled, list
  • only allows access to a service if the service name is listed in a 'managed_services' variable of any plinth module.

For demonstration, the services of quassel and transmission are marked as managed:

fonfon@freedombox:~/code/plinth$ sudo actions/service list
{"transmission-daemon": {"running": false}, "quasselcore": {"running": false}}

fonfon@freedombox:~/code/plinth$ sudo actions/service enable transmission-daemon
[...]

fonfon@freedombox:~/code/plinth$ sudo actions/service list
{"quasselcore": {"running": false}, "transmission-daemon": {"running": true}}

The next part is to adapt plinth.Service to make full use of this action script. Then I'll come up with a generic ServiceView and ServiceForm.
