Gnome Tray Services for Ubuntu and Debian is a simple application written in Python using PyGTK for the Gnome Desktop. GTS simply allows you to start and stop init.d services on demand from your desktop system tray.

It was written in-house because our Linux development environment requires that we run daemons like Apache and MySQL, but only if we are developing. Therefore, it makes sense to be able to start and stop the services with the least amount of hassle. GTS does just that, it will prompt you for the root password using gksudo, and then start or stop the service.
