Nitro is a tiny process supervisor that also can be used as pid 1 on Linux.
There are four main applications it is designed for:
- As init for a Linux machine for embedded, desktop or server purposes
 - As init for a Linux initramfs
 - As init for a Linux container (Docker/Podman/LXC/Kubernetes)
 - As unprivileged supervision daemon on POSIX systems
 Nitro is configured by a directory of scripts, defaulting to /etc/nitro (or the first command line argument).



I got used typing “sudo service --status-all”
then got used to typing “sudo systemctl list-unit-files --type=service”
now a new one to learn “sudo nitroctl list”
looks simpler
That can only be a good thing for my gnarly arthritis fingers.
PoetteringD commands are too damn long
Also automatic paging can go fuck itself
I mean, aliases do exist. For example, with my typical alias schema I might shorten it to
sudo syc lsu-s. But yeah, on foreign systems (e.g. random VPS’s) I can see your point.Thank you cravl
Much appreciated
