@Russ Neat. Saves googling! Must try

@Russ I've been thinking of using alexa routines, to simplify my command collection. As far as I can see they can't take parameters though, so you need to create multiple similar named routines.

Also, as pointed out its a million clicks as they only provide a gui interface, not a nice text based one. Thank goodness TRIGGERcmd has a text file!

@Steve-Lee pappal claim that is how they operate as payment gateway. So despite sending branded email with my account emailed address, it was a guest transaction, so not associated with account.

So I guess you manage the subscription yourself. Unlike stripe where they manage.

So I learnt.

Poor paypal service design IMHO!

Thanks for cancelling it though.

Steve

@Steve-Lee can you shed anyight on subscriptions!?

When I log into my PayPal account I see no activity for 90 days, despite your subscription renewal. I can find no subscriptions either. I really don't get it.

The lack of visibility on both PP and your site is why I thought I had already terminated, leaded to unwanted renewal.

Thanks.

Steve.

@Steve-Lee transaction 9YT04937SS283401L was just taken from my credit card. No refund with your cancellation.

@Russ thanks, emails a bit confusing as forward old to current. Hard to tell what's happening.

I got a cancell message which surprises me as thought paypal account closed.

I also just made a new payment! I think as got message.

Steve

I just got a subscription renewal annoucement but thought I already cancelled
I retired and checked to see if set up but missed the very obscure text saying I was subscribed - needs to stand out not be lost in sea of text. AS remidner that about to take next payment would be nice too.

Great service but I now have no need.

Would love a refund but have now closed paypal account. I could not see any subscriptions there either - sigh.

Thanks for a great service.

@HeeHang I know nothing about Make.com but TRIGGER cmd runs windows cmd commands and Windows has the parts to make it possible. Basically you probably want to add something like the following to a cmd/bat file and run that from TRIGGERcmd

start "" app.exe /s
timeout /t 5
taskkill /im app.exe /f

• start runs app.exe in a new process
• timeout waits a few seconds before returning
• taskkill /im kills task by name - assuming it is only one

If you have a script rather than an exe the run: cmd /c "my.cmd"

Hope that helps

@Russ yay! I'll give it a go

@Mauro Nice

@Russ Good idea, thanks!

I've yet to explore routines. They do increases the number of places to configure though. And no nice text file way with Alexa!

I did try adding words to created a new command

• mac setlist ...
• mac setlist next

But it doesn't work due to the way Alexa always matches the first one

So I'd have to add multiple 3 word items. Yuck Shame we can add out own lexicon

I was going to use Routines for repeat timers but on reading the docs they don't take parameters which really limits them for all applications

@Mauro There used to be a way to access non hidden tray icon menus with autohotkey but looking now it might have been broken in Windows 10 or 11. The only other option I can think of is using UIA but that's really low level coding.
