Any way to trigger something on one PC and have it trigger a second part on another?

[Xander]

Curious to see if this is a possibility (or a feature request) -- I'd like to run a trigger on my main PC, have it run a batch file with a ton of commands and, once done, hand the process over to a second PC.

Is this a possibility? And, if it's not, could it become one?

e.g. batch file that does blahblah commands and then finishes with:
_ path_\triggercmd.exe -trigger PC2 -command triggername

@xander, the best method for now is to use curl to call the API like this:

curl -X POST https://www.triggercmd.com/api/run/triggerSave -H "authorization: Bearer (token from instructions page)" -H "content-type: application/json" -d "{\"computer\":\"DS\",\"trigger\":\"notepad\",\"params\":\"c:\\users\\Russ\\.TRIGGERcmdData\\commands.json\"}"

I'm thinking of creating a Go executable that would call the API. It would be a simpler command line. Would the be helpful?

[Xander]

@russ LOL. That's a rhetorical question, right?

[Russ]

@xander, no I'm used to using curl, but I realize most people aren't. So ok - I get your point it - it would be useful. I'll work on it.

Thanks again for your input @Xander.

@Xander, please test this when you get a chance.

I put a link to each version in this forum post:
https://www.triggercmd.com/forum/topic/196/tcmd-go-command-line-tool-is-available-now

It reads your token from the .TRIGGERcmdData subfolder of your home folder, so it assumes you've installed the triggercmd agent on the computer where you run this tool.

I'm so sorry it took me so long to finally try this out. Did so tonight and it worked like a charm. Easy peasy. Thanks, Russ.

@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.
