Unfortunately, I find systemctl hard to type. If you start/stop services somewhat frequently, I recommend this alias:

    alias sc='sudo systemctl'

This has the nice property in that it mirrors the "service control" (sc) utility in later versions of Windows NT that I grew up on. Should work in bash/fish.

I have these others also when doing service development, because many of the subcommands start with 'st*' and also having to change the second parameter each time is annoying. These work in fish, but are easily ported:

    function sce --description 'systemctl stop # end'
        sc stop $argv;
    end
    function sci --description 'systemctl status # info'
        sc status $argv;
    end
    function scs --description 'systemctl start # start'
        sc start $argv;
    end

I agree, though I find journalctl to be even worse to type.
