Start/Stop/Restart another snap inside a snap

snapd

Hello All,

I would like to know, is there any mechanism to start/stop/restart other snap services inside a snap.

Also, I have tried with snapctl by connecting the plug snapd-control, it does allow to control only the snap dependent services.

Thanks in Advance!!!

Hello All,

Let me know, if any one have a solution for this.

If your snap has snapd-control, you can control all snap-provided services from ‘inside’ that snap, yes, using the apps endpoint. You can also, on core, disable services that are considered ‘device configuration’, which today includes rsyslogd and sshd; these are done via the config endpoint.

Hello @chipaca,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes, I have integrated snapd-control plug into my snap. The snap which I need to enable/disable is wifi-ap.

Kindly let me know the appropriate commands for the same.

Hello @chipaca,

Thanks for pointing this out.

It works with the POST /v2/snaps/[name] API.
