Is there a way to check if a specific snap is running (from the CLI)?












0















Let's say I've launched the Nextcloud Client, but I haven't seen the icon show up in the panel (Gnome Shell is finicky that way). How do I check to see if it is running (from the CLI)?



Is there a one-shot command for this?




(Please do not suggest using the system monitor, I know you can do
that. But it requires that you check the properties of the running
process to determine if it is a snap or not).







snap info is not an option for GUI programs, as it only tells you
about services (for instance: wekan, or nextcloud-server).

          Try sudo snap info "name of snap" it should give the details of the snap and the services it's running.

          • Not too sure then to be honest. Just thinking about it another way, if it's the client could you not use a script to create a test file in the folder that is syncing via the client then test for its existence on the nextcloud server using webdav? Then you'd know it's running as its uploaded the test file.
