Snippets
Snippets are saved commands that you can:
Run with a single click or tap, while in the terminal.
​Auto-run right after connecting to a host.
On mobile, run snippets on several hosts at once.
The Team plan lets people with specific roles in a team share snippets with other team members. Sharing snippets is possible for team editors and admins.
Shared snippets appear among personal (not shared) snippets. Snippets can be filtered by type on the Snippets screen: all snippets, personal snippets ('my snippers'), and team's ('shared') snippets.
Snippets are a premium feature.

If it’s Bash that runs on a remote host, you can use && or ; to specify more than one command on a new line.

Example Snippets
Snippets are powerful. There are many commands that you may run on a day-to-day basis that are either cumbersome to type (especially on a mobile device) or require command line switches you may not remember. Instead of constantly searching or referencing a sheet for these things, snippets allow you to store this knowledge and save time in your daily server tasks.
To help get you started, we've created a few for you to use:
Find All Files Created or Modified Within 30 Days
find -type f -mtime -30
Find All Files Created or Modified Within 30 Days and Run a Command
find -type f -mtime -30 -exec
The -exec at the end allows you to specify a command. This snippet is intended to be run without pressing enter so that you can type the command to run on those matching files.
Obtain Disk Usage and Free Space Statistics
du -ch
List Listening Ports and Owning Processes
netstat -tolpn
Display Kernel Log
sudo dmesg
List All Running Processes
ps auxw
Search for a Running Process
ps aux | grep
This snippet is meant to be run without pressing enter. After using the snippet, type the name of the program you are searching for (i.e. "apache2"), and the process list will be searched for this name.
