I built the tool simply to improve developer experience. Run `systemctl list-units` and the console is flooded with a wall of services, most of them are not mine. Run `ser status` and I only see the ones that I created. The activity state, CPU and memory usage is displayed so I don't need to run a separate command.

    hp@hp:~$ ser status
    +-----+-------------+----------+----------------+-------+--------+
    | pid | name        | active   | enable on boot | cpu % | memory |
    +-----+-------------+----------+----------------+-------+--------+
    | 0   | hello-world | inactive | false          | 0     | 0      |
    +-----+-------------+----------+----------------+-------+--------+
    | 0   | index.js    | inactive | false          | 0     | 0      |
    +-----+-------------+----------+----------------+-------+--------+

Another UX improvement is the template generation. I found myself googling it everytime. I f there is something more custom (etc sockets) I can use the `ser edit`, this will open nano with a pre-populated template that I can edit.

Finally why limit oneself to systemd? pm2 runs on Mac and windows, I aim to do the same. Same set of commands to create services everywhere, with details abstracted away (easier said than done, need to look into their APIs).

As long as remembering a new command is required this also be used:

* systemctl status 'brand-*' That is, custom services could start with the same prefix.

I run a lot of custom services, and usually I want to check on one specifically, or if I want to look at the total service health, I also want to include the services which are "not mine".

To do formatting on a message (multilines of code, equivalent to ``` in Markdown), indent everything with 4 spaces

Fixed, thanks for the heads up!
