Play/Pause etc with osascript

[Russ]

AppleScript can do all sorts of things on a mac. osascript is a built-in tool to run AppleScript.

This page is a good document to get started: https://ss64.com/osx/osascript.html

Examples:
osascript -e 'tell application "iTunes" to play'
osascript -e 'tell application "Music" to play' (on Catalina+)
osascript -e 'tell application "iTunes" to pause'
osascript -e 'tell application "Music" to pause' (on Catalina+)

EDIT: I found a simple one-line command for pressing space, which is useful for play/pause.

echo "tell application "System Events" to keystroke " "" | osascript

@Russ GOOD MORNING and that I have a youtube channel in Brazil and the subscribers are asking for a video on how to open the trigger app more on the mac and I'm not getting it can help me

[Russ]

@tioinfo, do you want me to make a video about how to install the TRIGGERcnd agent on a mac?

Or about how to open mac apps with TRIGGERcmd?

In general, to open one of the apps in the Applications folder, it's:

open -a Calculator

@Russ Hello there would be how to make a video or show me how to execute programs by trigger on mac, programs like final cut, photoshop because there is a lot of demand but very little content for mac in the trigger

[Russ]

@tioinfo, yes, I'll make a video for mac users hopefully later today. I'll show how to figure out the command to launch mac apps.

EDIT: Here's the video: https://youtu.be/Sda3vM1cXQI
