Thanks Russ. That worked. I was trying various commands like trying to run "nano" and it didn't pop-up so figured there were bigger issues at play. Since I am not running in an X environment, I'm assuming the commands run in a random virtual console? I was running foreground to get visibility and troubleshooting from the logs. I just modified the commands.json line for this to background and started the daemon and this also worked.

Not a lot of documentation for using triggercmd via command line (ssh) and most is focused on the GUI so fumbling may way around :). Thanks again for the reply. Now that I know commands are running correctly, I'll play around with the scripts I want to run. Great program BTW

I just installed triggercmd on my Ubuntu 18.04 headless via SSH. After some fiddling, I got the software installed properly and edited the ~./TRIGGERcmdData/commands.json file and added the following line:

{"trigger":"touch","command":"touch foo /test","ground":"foreground","voice":"update","allowParams": "false"}

I started the agent via the "triggercmdagent" command and see the command populated to the website. When I click the Trigger button on the website, it states that the command ran but there is no file in /test/ created called "foo". I checked the journalctl logs and it shows the same details as the agent but nothing ran. The permissions on /test/ are 777 so this isn't a permissions issue. I tried various other commands like just opening "nano" and it's not running either.

Is there anywhere I can find out why the command isn't running?

Here is a list of the details showing in the triggercmdagent window:

$ triggercmdagent
