Overview

Systek is a Linux terminal administration menu designed to group common server actions into a single, clean interface.

It helps you run daily administration tasks faster, reduces command typing mistakes, and gives you quick access to the most useful system operations from one place.

Installation

The current install.sh is meant to run with the repository files available locally, because it copies systek.py and README.md into /opt/systek.

One-line installer

git clone https://github.com/jonas52/systek.git && cd systek && sudo bash install.sh

Temporary install without keeping the repo

tmpdir=$(mktemp -d) && git clone https://github.com/jonas52/systek.git "$tmpdir/systek" && cd "$tmpdir/systek" && sudo bash install.sh

---

Usage

sudo systek

Update

sudo systek --update

Remove

sudo systek --remove

---

Autostart

Systek includes an autostart option that makes the script launch automatically when the user session starts.

When autostart is enabled, Systek creates a startup entry so the application runs at login without needing to launch it manually. This is useful if you want the administration menu to open automatically on a local machine, admin workstation, or dedicated environment.

In practice, this means:

• the script starts at the beginning of the session
• you do not need to run sudo systek manually every time
• it is mainly useful for environments where you want immediate access to the menu after login

Autostart can be disabled at any time from the menu.
