sp shell

Open an interactive REPL session to run multiple commands without repeated authentication.

Usage

bash
sp shell

When to use it

Most sp commands require your master password for authentication. If you need to run several commands in a row — for example during a maintenance window — enter your password once with sp shell and then run commands without re-authenticating.

Inside the shell

bash
# Start the interactive shell
sp shell

# Inside the shell, run commands without the "sp" prefix:
> status
> logs mautic
> export --name pre-maintenance
> restart n8n
> exit

Exiting the shell

Type exit or press Ctrl+D to close the shell session.

Best practices

  • Use sp shell during planned maintenance windows to run multiple commands efficiently
  • Do not leave a shell session open unattended — exit when you are done
  • The shell session does not persist between terminal connections
