Description Alexander Potashev 2018-11-29 14:21:48 UTC

SUMMARY
Add button to manual start app in KCM autostart.

Sometimes I need to restart Dropbox that was autostarted by Plasma. To do that I can kill it from the process list and then run by hand, but it would be handy to have a button to re-run the app from the "Autostart" KCM.

that would be well appreciated. it is also useful for testing a newly added entry.

I'm thinking about a new page that opens when clicking a unit to show the logs and all the possible options available for a unit like stopping it and restarting it.

kcms/autostart: Show more info about systemd-backed entries

This MR gets info about autostart systemd units using dbus and shows them
on a new sub-page in the KCM. This will make it easy for people to figure
out why their autostart entries aren't autostarting or debug other issues.
