@Russ That seems to have done it! I think my mistake was mostly running it as a standard user. When I switched to root and ran node agent.js --console, it did prompt me to input the token. After that I was able to restart the service and now when I check status, it always shows as active.

Thanks for your help.

@Russ Sorry I didn't specify. I'm running Debian headless inside Proxmox. I think the problem might actually be that the service is repeatedly crashing after start up. When I run doas systemctl status triggercmdagent I get this:

× triggercmdagent.service - TRIGGERcmd Agent
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/triggercmdagent.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
     Active: failed (Result: start-limit-hit) since Sat 2024-05-18 17:05:02 EDT; 7min ago

Running

doas systemctl reset-failed triggercmdagent
doas systemctl start triggercmdagent
doas systemctl status triggercmdagent

gives me what I think is the expected output at first:

● triggercmdagent.service - TRIGGERcmd Agent
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/triggercmdagent.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Sat 2024-05-18 17:17:22 EDT; 113ms ago

             └─2860 node /usr/share/triggercmdagent/app/src/daemon.js --run /root/.TRIGGERcmdData

But then checking status again right after gives me this again:

Do you have any advice on how to fix the crashes?

Hi,

I've got the tcmd cli tool installed, and I tried installing triggercmdagent (headless, both foreground app and daemon), and either way, it doesn't seem to recognize when I edit the /root/.TRIGGERcmdData/commands.json file. When I run "tcmd --list", it only shows the "Gnome Editor" command that comes by default, and none of the ones I added. I even removed the Gnome Editor command and that one still shows up.

Restarting triggercmdagent (app or daemon) as well as the machine itself seems to have no effect.
