Unexpected token W in JSON at position 273

Jaxon T

I'm trying to get my computer to sleep on command.
This is my command line

"trigger": "Sleep",
"command": "C:\Windows\System32\psshutdown /d /t 1",
"ground": "background",
"voice": "Sleep",

When I tell it to run a java error pops up with "Unexpected token W in JSON at position 273" and when I write psshutdown \d \t 1 without the whole directory nothing happens.

Thanks, Jaxon

@Jaxon-T, I think I know why you're seeing that error:

For proper json formatting, the backslashes in your command path need to be double-backslashes, like this:

"command": "C:\\Windows\\System32\\psshutdown /d /t 1",

After I did what you said it happened again except this time it said

Unexpected token } in JSON at position 132

the whole text command editor is just

[
{
"trigger": "Sleep",
"command": "C:\Windows\System32\psshutdown /d /t 1",
"ground": "background",
"voice": "Sleep",
}
]

btw i tried psshutdown with and without .exe at the end so the other text editor looks like

[
{
"trigger": "Sleep",
"command": "C:\Windows\System32\psshutdown.exe /d /t 1",
"ground": "background",
"voice": "Sleep",
}
]

btw when i copy and paste the text it takes away the double slash so these are double slashed!

@Jaxon-T, if you use three of these "back ticks" ` before and after your text, it will show it as a code block and keep any backslashes intact.

Like this:

 {
  "trigger": "sleep",
  "command": "d:\\tools\\pstools\\psexec -h C:\\\\Windows\\System32\\psshutdown.exe /d /t 1",
  "offCommand": "",
  "ground": "background",
  "voice": "sleep",
  "voiceReply": "",
  "allowParams": "false"
 }

I tried your command and it didn't work because of UAC. You'll notice I ran it with psexec -h. That worked because it's running as a background command which runs it as Local System which has access to run things "As Administrator" with psexec -h.
