  This command will show a window with the text you want to show:

  zenity --info --text '<span foreground="blue" font="32">Some\nbig text</span>\n\n<i>(it is also blue)</i>'

  zenity

  If you run it in the background agent, have your command run this script to set the DISPLAY environment variable first:

  #!/bin/bash export DISPLAY=:0 zenity --info --text '<span foreground="blue" font="32">Some\nbig text</span>\n\n<i>(it is also blue)</i>'

  You'll also need to run this as your normal user first:

  xhost +

  @Murilo-Callegari, if you look at the Runs list for your command, it should say "Command ran" if the command actually ran on your computer.

  If you're worried the screen still didn't lock even though your "lock screen" command ran, you could have your "lock screen" script also check whether the screen is locked, and send that information to the Runs list using the ~/.TRIGGERcmdData/result.sh script.

  Just run ~/.TRIGGERcmdData/result.sh from your "lock screen" script with a status message like "Locked" or "Unlocked" as the parameter when you run result.sh.

  You can also have Alexa speak the "Locked" or "Unlocked" result if you add {{result}} to your command's Voice Reply field and use one the Conversational Alexa skills.

  This article has more about that.

  @Meximistas, I think Alexa would accept one of these:

  establecer volumen 90 subir el volumen a 90

  You'd make the Voice field volumen instead of volume.

  @Anderson-Lajes, I installed the TRIGGERcmd agent on Mint Linux and it worked well for me.

  If you run it on Hyper-V, you'll want to use a Generation 2 virtual machine, and disable secure boot.

  Also, to use the Background Service you'll need nodejs installed:

  sudo apt install nodejs
