Can I run snippets on a server within Blink?

Can I store commands to run them later? Can I run a shell script on a remote server?

You can easily run snippets on remote servers using the Blink' shell capabilities.

ssh 'bash -s' < test.sh

To create a snippet, make sure to use our Code integration. Because this is a Shell script, it can be as complex as you need it, and not limited to a single line. Ie. create a test.sh file:

#!/bin/bash
echo "CURRENT TIME = "`date`
echo "HOSTNAME = "`hostname`
echo "USER id = "`whoami`
echo "IP ADDRESS = "`ip a s enp0s3 | grep "inet " | cut -f6 -d" "`

If you store your snippets inside the iCloud folder, they will be automatically synchronized between your devices.

You can also call snippets from Shortcuts by leveraging URL callbacks.

At the moment, we do not offer any specialized UI to run snippets, but it is in our roadmap.
