@Smart-Communities, why not click that Configure button for your short bookmark, and re-select the computer/command combo?

@Smart-Communities, I think you need to edit your short bookmark and re-select your reboot command.

I suspect maybe you renamed your computer?

I just did that - I added a space between New and Laptop. It made my short bookmark red because it no longer matched the computer name:

Then I fixed it by editing my short bookmark and re-selecting my reboot command:

About your idea to have the ability to view all standard and short bookmarks - it's not possible to show the standard bookmarks because they're not stored in the database. The standard bookmarks use a JWT, which is what makes them so long.

@Smart-Communities the red on the Short Bookmarks page is not showing the online/offline status of the computer. It's telling you that the command/computer combo no longer exists.

For example, I have a command on my DS computer that no longer exists. I probably renamed it.

If you click Configure, it will show you a blank Select Trigger field with a pulldown to re-select something for that short bookmark URL.

About your other questions:

Q: Possible to display short bookmarks on the main " View Triggers" screen?
A: It's currently not possible. How about I move the "Create Short Bookmark" button to the top of the Bookmark page?

Q: Create shorter bookmarks by default?
A: I think there's a legit use case for the original bookmarks. They're meant to be ephemeral - they can expire after a set number of hours. They're also invalidated if the command is deleted or renamed. Short bookmarks are valid as long as the computer name and command name they refer to exist.

Q: If I delete offline devices will they come back if eventually online again?
A: No, so if you delete a computer, you'll need to re-input a token when the agent runs on it again, and it will create a new computer record for it at that point.

@JRSF-Home, sorry, I forgot (again) that timeout command doesn't wait if the script is running in a context that doesn't have a console, like when the TRIGGERcmd agent runs it. It just moves on immediately.

This chatgpt session explains it: https://chatgpt.com/share/691cf13c-2f64-8004-8b12-78dd516285a9

You can see here that another user had the same problem.

My suggestion is to use the ping command like this:

ping 127.0.0.1 -n 3

Adjust that 3 number depending on how long you want to wait.

Here's my improved script that uses ping to wait, and it uses CTRL-SHIFT-J to go directly to the Console tab:

"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --new-window https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1I9qC0Zo_PM
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 5
REM x y width height
nircmd win setsize stitle "Allow friends to control Spotify" 200 100 800 1000
nircmd win activate stitle "Allow friends to control Spotify"

REM open dev tools to the Console tab
nircmd sendkeypress ctrl+shift+j
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 3

REM type document.querySelector('like-button-view-model button[aria-label*="like"]').click()
nircmd sendkeypress d o c u m e n t 0xBE q u e r y Shift+s e l e c t o r Shift+0x39 0xDE l i k e 0xBD b u t t o n 0xBD v i e w 0xBD m o d e l spc b u t t o n 0xDB

REM press enter 
nircmd sendkeypress 0x0D
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 2

REM close dev tools
nircmd sendkeypress F12

Here's a video of it working on my laptop: https://youtu.be/p-uJ8j1__zw

@hondaru2004, here's a powershell script that will create a new computer in your TRIGGERcmd account. It assumes you installed the agent on the master PC you cloned because it uses the token.tkn file from that install for authentication. It writes the computer ID and computer name to the config files in the user's home directory. I hope this helps.

# === Configuration ===
$urlprefix = "https://triggercmd.com"
$computername = $env:COMPUTERNAME

# Read token from TRIGGERcmd token file
$tokenPath = Join-Path $env:USERPROFILE ".TRIGGERcmdData\token.tkn"

if (Test-Path $tokenPath) {
    $token = Get-Content $tokenPath -Raw | ForEach-Object { $_.Trim() }
    Write-Host "Token loaded from: $tokenPath" -ForegroundColor Green
} else {
    Write-Host "Error: Token file not found at $tokenPath" -ForegroundColor Red
    Read-Host "Press Enter to exit"
    exit 1
}

# === Perform the POST request ===
Write-Host "Making API request..." -ForegroundColor Green

$headers = @{
    "Authorization" = "Bearer $token"
    "Content-Type" = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
}

$body = "name=$computername"

try {
    $response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$urlprefix/api/computer/save" -Method POST -Headers $headers -Body $body
    
    # === Display the full response ===
    Write-Host "`nAPI Response:" -ForegroundColor Yellow
    $response | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10 | Write-Host
    
    # === Extract and save the ID ===
    $computerId = $response.data.id
    
    if ($computerId) {
        # Save ID to TRIGGERcmd config file
        $computerIdPath = Join-Path $env:USERPROFILE ".TRIGGERcmdData\computerid.cfg"
        $computerNamePath = Join-Path $env:USERPROFILE ".TRIGGERcmdData\computername.cfg"
        
        # Ensure the directory exists
        $triggerCmdDir = Split-Path $computerIdPath -Parent
        if (!(Test-Path $triggerCmdDir)) {
            New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $triggerCmdDir -Force | Out-Null
        }
        
        # Save ID to file
        $computerId | Out-File -FilePath $computerIdPath -Encoding ASCII -NoNewline

        # Save computer name to file
        $computername | Out-File -FilePath $computerNamePath -Encoding ASCII -NoNewline
        
        Write-Host "`nExtracted ID: $computerId" -ForegroundColor Cyan
        Write-Host "ID saved to: $computerIdPath" -ForegroundColor Green
        Write-Host "Computer name saved to: $computerNamePath" -ForegroundColor Green
    } else {
        Write-Host "`nError: Could not find ID in response" -ForegroundColor Red
    }
    
} catch {
    Write-Host "`nError making API request:" -ForegroundColor Red
    Write-Host $_.Exception.Message -ForegroundColor Red
}

Write-Host "`nRequest completed." -ForegroundColor Green

Run the script with a command like this:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\change_tcmd_id.ps1

Or, you could just delete the computerid.cfg file and it will prompt you for the token like when you first install the agent.

@JRSF-Home

Think script worked pretty well for me. It does something similar to your use-case. It opens a Youtube video in a new Chrome window in a specific location on the screen, with specific dimensions, and presses the Like button.

It uses a Chrome dev tools console command to find the like button and click it.

"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --new-window https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1I9qC0Zo_PM
timeout 4
REM x y width height
nircmd win setsize stitle "Allow friends to control Spotify" 200 100 800 1000
nircmd win activate stitle "Allow friends to control Spotify"

REM open dev tools
nircmd sendkeypress F12
timeout 3

REM type document.querySelector('like-button-view-model button[aria-label*="like"]').click()
nircmd sendkeypress d o c u m e n t 0xBE q u e r y Shift+s e l e c t o r Shift+0x39 0xDE l i k e 0xBD b u t t o n 0xBD v i e w 0xBD m o d e l spc b u t t o n 0xDB
nircmd sendkeypress a r i a 0xBD l a b e l Shift+0x38 0xBB Shift+0xDE l i k e Shift+0xDE 0xDD 0xDE Shift+0x30 0xBE c l i c k Shift+0x39 Shift+0x30 

REM press enter 
nircmd sendkeypress 0x0D

REM close dev tools
nircmd sendkeypress F12

It's a little low-tech because it simulates a lot of key presses. There's probably a better way using puppeteer or selenium but this works if you don't care.

@JRSF-Home, I see what you're trying to do and why.

Here's a long command line that uses && to combine multiple commands into one:

"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --new-window https://triggercmd.com && timeout 5 && nircmd win activate stitle "TRIGGERcmd: Remotely run" && nircmd win setsize stitle "TRIGGERcmd: Remotely run" 800 100 500 500

It opens triggercmd.com in a new Chrome window, waits 5 seconds, then resizes and positions the window.

Personally, instead of that super long command line I would create a .bat file like this and have TRIGGERcmd run the .bat file.

"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --new-window https://triggercmd.com
timeout 5
nircmd win activate stitle "TRIGGERcmd: Remotely run"
nircmd win setsize stitle "TRIGGERcmd: Remotely run" 800 100 500 500

The nircmd win command parameters aren't super intuitive, but you can see how I had it find the Chrome window by the "TRIGGERcmd: Remotely run" text that the Chrome window's title starts with.
https://nircmd.nirsoft.net/win.html

I know you also want to click a button on the page. I'm looking into how to run a command like this in the Chrome console using the keyboard so you could have nircmd do that part too:

document.querySelector('#yourButtonId').click();

Please try the script or command though. It worked for me.

This shows how I simulated clicking the Sign In button on the triggercmd.com login page using this method. Now I just need to figure out the series of keystrokes to automate it with nircmd.

@Xander, got it. Sorry I thought you were suggesting he use Chrome to launch a shortcut. I get your original meaning now.

Just so it's clear to OP, he could put start c:\path\to\shortcut.lnk in the Command field or include it in his script that TRIGGERcmd could run for him. Example:

start C:\Users\russe\Desktop\Claude.lnk

Then if he pre-configured the Run field of that .lnk shortcut, he could make it open Maximized.

As for OP's 3rd request - to click a button within that window, I'd ask ChatGPT. Just asked it "how to click a button on a web page with a script." here:
https://chatgpt.com/share/68fe7888-36f8-8004-9c72-e7c6385f927b

@Simon thanks again for reporting the error. I'll see if I can reproduce it. It looks like it's in the Home Assistant integration. Sorry about the trouble.

EDIT: I see from your screenshot that this.computer_name was null for some reason, so I added code to prevent a crash when that happens. I'll produce a new version soon.
https://github.com/rvmey/TRIGGERcmd-Agent/commit/b54e988e7d251105bc6faa8c3fa6a5240644cbef

EDIT2: Done - please upgrade to the current version (v1.0.52) to avoid that error in the future.

@Xander, I thought by "shortcut" he was talking about a Windows shortcut like I screenshotted above, not a TRIGGERcmd shortcut. I think he wants to create a TRIGGERcmd command that makes sure the app (maybe Chrome?) launches maximized, starts with a particular zoom % (Chrome can be zoomed).

Assuming it's Chrome, I have my script launch it maximized, then effectively type CTRL 0, then CTRL + once or twice to adjust the zoom.

Here's a list of parameters Chrome takes, but none of them are the zoom level, so you'd have to simulate key presses with nircmd or an AutoIT script or similar.
https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/

@Xander, I'm finding that only some executables, like notepad.exe support starting them maximized, minimized or normal. If make a shortcut (.lnk file) that targets one of those executables, you can specify it in shortcut settings.

@rdaraujo, yes, it runs the commands locally without the 1 command per minute limit even if you're not subscribed.

@JRSF-Home, I asked ChatGPT about #1 because I remembered it's possible to launch an app minimized or maximized with the start command:
https://chatgpt.com/share/68fcce56-9d20-8004-9046-8a96869e1b9f

I suggest looking at AutoHotKey or AutoIT to automate the clicks.

@Simon, it just happened to me too. I have a bug in the 1.0.50 mac version. Sorry about that. I'm working on it now. Thank you for reporting it.

EDIT: @Simon, I just posted a new mac version of the agent (1.0.51) that fixes this bug.

@Simon, did you do anything right before you got this message, like click something, create a new command, or disconnect your Internet? Can you reproduce the error at-will? Any info you have would help me reproduce it so I can easily figure out how to prevent it.

Thanks @Xander .

@emmarose, yea but can you say, "Alexa, turn off mining?" You can with TRIGGERcmd.

@Zaydel-Jiménez, please confirm, you're seeing the "A break point has been reached" error during Windows shutdown? If so, can you get a picture of that error like Furkan did, it might help me. Also, if it happens every time or only once in a while it would also help me to know that.

I couldn't find the old 1.0.48 version but I don't think it will be any better in terms of that error than the latest version 1.0.50 because it contains the same code I thought would fix it. It's a tricky problem to fix because I can't reproduce it myself.

FYI, these are the version notes:
https://www.triggercmd.com/forum/topic/14/triggercmd-agent-versions

Thanks @Frederick1337 !

@wandersonjvs, thanks for the screenshots. I suspect you have some antivirus software that's preventing the agent from creating the .TRIGGERcmdData folder under your user's home folder.

You could try creating it manually, or you could try temporarily disabling your antivirus software.
