@Xander, please test this when you get a chance. I think I remember you have a 32bit machine, so I built both 32bit and 64bit versions.
64bit tcmd tool
32bit tcmd tool
I'll make Mac, 64bit Linux, and Pi versions soon.
It reads your token from the .TRIGGERcmdData subfolder of your home folder, so it assumes you've installed the triggercmd agent on the computer where you run this tool.
@asussupport, take a look at the screen program. That might be what you're looking for. Otherwise, please tell me more about what you're trying to accomplish.
Hi Russ, sorry for the late reply I've been a bit busy with work.
It hasn't been happening since I made this topic, so I'll keep an eye on things and will PM you if I have more issues.
Regards.
@christopher-hogben,
Assuming your voice field is set to "reboot", your sentence should be: "Alexa, ask TRIGGERcmd to run Reboot".
If you have more than one computer and want to run a command on your non-default computer, you can say, "Alexa, ask TRIGGERcmd to run Reboot on Computer" to specify the computer.
Also if you click the "Voice commands" link on the website while you're logged in, you'll see a list of sentences in the "Say this" column.
Also, make sure you test this from the website first. If you don't see the "Reboot in 10 seconds" option on the website, you probably don't have the background service installed yet. Background commands only show up when you have the background service installed. Background commands are meant to be runnable even if you're not logged into your PC.
FYI - I'm still working on this. I've been emailing back and forth with Google tech support every day. For some reason the German and French versions are returning the English version's text.
EDIT 6/8/18: I got this from Google support 3 days ago, so I think we're making progress:

Hi,
Our apologies for the inconvenience this has caused. I already have coordinated this with our internal team and it seems this is a bug from our side. They are actively working on this and will keep you posted once I get an update from them. We thank you for your patience and understanding.
@michaelsmith, what problem are you having? I updated the link on that post to point to the new Raspberry Pi agent.
https://s3.amazonaws.com/triggercmdagents/triggercmdagent_1.0.1_all.deb
@wiegerduck, I answered you with a video showing how to do it, but here's the high level idea:
1 - Your voice says "Alexa, trigger calculator"
2 - Alexa tells IFTTT to tell TRIGGERcmd to tell your computer to run calculator
3 - Your computer runs calculator

@dave1223, can you verify your Windows 10 is a 64bit version?
If you search for "system" and open your System control panel, you should see this about half way down:
System type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
I ask because the normal agent doesn't work on 32bit windows.
This is rad -thanks Russ. I'm not sure what I did but it wouldn't let me auto-start in the foreground, but could have been a simple hiccup I made along the way, when installing it. I have my pi waking up both my laptop and desktop now and trigger can do a bunch of things with both computers from sleeping/locking/restarting them. Really cool. I'll make a better video now that I got it dialed in as it seems to be incredibly seamless with alexa and setting up a simple command in alexa UI for the virtual smartthings switches. I think stringify or smartthings or harmony needs to buy trigger off you IMO!
