USAGE:
  n se .                               running user/app services on this machine
  n se . <query>                       filter by name/port/description

OPTIONS:
  --all                            include system services
  --failed                         only failed/stopped-auto
  --start|--stop|--restart <name>  manage a service (asks/elevates)

Target: . = this machine · <host> = remote

SERVICE AUDIT COMMANDS:
  n svc                     Audit user/app services (filters out OS core boilerplate)
  n svc <NAME|PORT>         Search service by name, port, or keyword (e.g. n svc ssh, n svc 5432)
  n svc --all, -a           Display all system & OS services without filtering
  n svc --failed, -f        Audit only failed or stopped automatic-startup services

MANAGEMENT COMMANDS (Auto-Elevated):
  n svc --start <NAME>      Start a stopped service (e.g. n svc --start sshd)
  n svc --stop <NAME>       Stop a running service (e.g. n svc --stop postgresql)
  n svc --restart <NAME>    Restart a service (e.g. n svc --restart docker)

INTELLIGENT FILTERING:
  • Strips out 250+ internal OS plumbing daemons (svchost, systemd-udev, etc.)
  • Automatically cross-references service PIDs with listening TCP/UDP sockets
  • Automatically highlights failed auto-start daemons with remediation hints
