Sometimes, snap on linux (mostly Ubuntu distros) start background upgrades without notification or authorization. This may seems as trivial but it's very bothering for people with limited bandwidth and internet data. So this script is used to easily stop and/or restart snap service.

Instructions

  • Create a new folder for your script and file/folder name should be appropriate.
  • Create a README.md (using this template) in your folder for program Instructions
  • add requirements.txt if needed

Programming Language

  • Python

Target plateform

  • Linux

Happy Coding
