New user on latest Raspberry Pi help please!

Al S.

All right, so I followed all the commands in the tutorial and triggercmd and background service installed fine.
Computer is added to my computers on triggercmd.com and all 4 sample triggers show up. However when I edit the commands.json file, the changes don't get uploaded. I added commands and also tried to delete the Gnome editor command, but on the website it just shows the original 4 commands.
I ran sudo systemctl stop triggercmdagent and then start, but they still remain the same.

This is the output of status:

This is the content of my commands.json file

[
  {"trigger":"Reboot","command":"shutdown -r","ground":"background","voice":"reboot","allowParams": "false"},
  {"trigger":"yum update","command":"yum -y update","ground":"background","voice":"yum update","allowParams": "false"},
  {"trigger":"apt update","command":"apt-get -y update","ground":"background","voice":"update","allowParams": "false"},
  {"trigger":"unmount","command":"umount /media/xexets/*","ground":"background","voice":"unmount","allowParams": "false"}
]

Am I missing something?

Thank you!

@Al-S, when you install the background agent on Raspberry Pi it runs as root, so it uses your /root/.TRIGGERcmdData/commands.json file. Is that what you're showing there? Or is that one from your /home/pi/.TRIGGERcmdData directory?

Just checking, because if you ran triggercmdagent while logged in as your pi user, you'll also have that /home/pi/.TRIGGERcmdData directory which the background agent does not use.

It got cut off in the text you pasted, but it will show the .TRIGGERcmdData folder it's using in the systemctl output. Mine looks like this:

 Main PID: 289 (node)
   CGroup: /system.slice/triggercmdagent.service
           └─289 node /usr/share/triggercmdagent/app/src/daemon.js --run /root/.TRIGGERcmdData

@Russ Ah yes absolutely! Sorry, that's the one. It's because I was unable to access the root folder, so I just assumed it was the other folder. I sudo nanoed it and now it appears instantly many thank you so much

Russ

@Al-S, great. Glad that was it.
