It looks like you have some invalid json in the command.json you're trying to save, so the agent is restoring the last good commands.json it had. Can you post your commands.json here so I can maybe spot the problem?

Another thing you could try is paste it into a json formatter online, like this one:

Ahh, missed that! Thanks! I failed to add , at the end of the line.. I also got the daemon installed now. Default is /root so I change the line to make it run under my user:

node /usr/lib/triggercmdagent/resources/app/src/daemon.js --run /home/YOURDIRECTORY/.TRIGGERcmdData/

Hi! I just found out about this neat software, and it looks like it could solve some of my problems, but I got some issues while installing/configure.

I follow your this guide: Ubuntu Linux agent instructions and everything gets installed correctly at first, but I can't get the daemon to run, and none of my foreground or background triggers is showing up on the webpage. Only "Gnome Editor" is showing up. I also tried to add some more foreground triggers in the commands.jason file, but nothing is working. When I trigger the "Gnome Editor" example my server reports that it have triggered correctly. (I've removed the computer ID from the code below, did not know if it was sensitive) I really need some guidence here

ComputerIDfile: /home/rustserver/.TRIGGERcmdData/computerid.cfg
Logging in with saved token to run foreground tasks.
Computer ID xxxxxxxxxx saved for next time.
