@bruceybizzit, I think you should try either checking your debug.log file for clues, or deleting your computer in the web gui, and deleting your c:\users(username).TRIGGERcmdData folder. After deleting those, when you run TRIGGERcmd again it should prompt for the token.

Awesome @jay-dee! Thanks for the subscription too.

Great thanks! I have resubscribed!

@dan5150, wonder if you might have multiple TRIGGERcmd accounts, and your Alexa account is tied to the other TRIGGERcmd account?

Just brainstorming here.

If so, you could try unlinking and re-linking to your account.

EDIT: We figured it out - Dan had "shut down /s /t 30" as his command but he needed "shutdown /s /t 30". Notice the shutdown command shouldn't have a space it in. There's a shut down command in the Example commands BTW.

@xander, thanks for testing. I'm glad you asked for that. I needed a Go project, and a CLI tool that calls an API is a perfect use case for Go.

@insaneoctane, I'm sure it was #3.

It has to show up on the webpage before you can trigger the command with the API, and background commands don't show up until you install the background service. That background service feature is often misunderstood. I almost wish I didn't include it. It's meant to allow you to trigger commands in the context of a Windows service or a Linux daemon so you don't have to be logged in for the commands to run.

@sverd, can you send me exactly what you have in your Command field?

It sounds to me like you're prefixing your command with the word start. If so, please try it without start.

Also if your command needs the present working directory to be C:\Program Files (x86)\SonicWALL\SSL-VPN\NetExtender, then please try making your command run a batch file with these contents:

cd /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\SonicWALL\SSL-VPN\NetExtender" NEGui

So your command would be something like c:\folder\batchfilename.bat

@web-desk, what OS are you running on the two servers? I just tested on one of my Win2012 R2 servers with recent updates and had a problem - it just didn't install the service. Can you please try this?

Close the TRIGGERcmd tray icon Right-click the TRIGGERcmd Agent icon and click "Run as administrator". Right-click TRIGGERcmd tray icon, click Background Service - Install Background Service Run Services.msc and see if you have a TRIGGERcmdAgent service

Yes and yes.
"Without a subscription, you can only have 1 computer and send 1 trigger per minute. "

If it's simple enough, you can just separate commands with a "&"

e.g. cls & dir c:\*. & timeout 5

@pico, that's interesting. I'll experiment with that. I hope it works. Thanks for the suggestion.

EDIT: I worked on it for a while and didn't get it working. I couldn't get it to add the Login item while it's quarantined. I think that's a mac security feature for apps downloaded outside of the app store.

@klimesvl, I see you signed up and cancelled today. I'll refund your money. I hope you'll re-subscribe.

@willie8, what operating system are you using? Are you using CTRL-V to paste? Or I think it's Command-V on a mac.

I think you might be trying to choose the Paste option from the Edit pulldown. I just tested that and I see it doesn't work. Thanks for pointing that out (assuming that menu option is what you're trying to use).

EDIT 8/26/18: I fixed it.

Hi Russ, sorry for the late reply I've been a bit busy with work.

It hasn't been happening since I made this topic, so I'll keep an eye on things and will PM you if I have more issues.

Regards.

@drmodding, thank you. Please let me know if it works or not.

@phil-davenport, awesome. I'm glad that worked. Sorry I didn't think of that right away.

@michaelsmith, what problem are you having? I updated the link on that post to point to the new Raspberry Pi agent.

https://s3.amazonaws.com/triggercmdagents/triggercmdagent_1.0.1_all.deb

@wiegerduck, I answered you with a video showing how to do it, but here's the high level idea:

1 - Your voice says "Alexa, trigger calculator"
2 - Alexa tells IFTTT to tell TRIGGERcmd to tell your computer to run calculator
3 - Your computer runs calculator
