@Russ Many thanks. Unfortunately I don't own an Alexa so I'm going to need to find an alternative. I can get GH to speak custom phrases on command using "assistant.command.Broadcast" with Google's Web based Automations script editor but that is just a fixed phrase. Guess I'm going back to Gemini for more ideas! Good to see TC still going strong - I first used it 5 years ago!

@Adroit-Tester2, the background agent on Windows is meant to run commands that don't do anything with the GUI, like this reboot command:

shutdown /r /t 1

One benefit is the TRIGGERcmdAgent Windows service runs before you login, so you could reboot the PC even if it's not logged in.

Background commands run in the context of the TRIGGERcmdAgent Windows service that runs as Local System, which can be of benefit too because it has full access to your PC and it bypasses UAC.

Here's a test command you use try in background mode to verify it's working:

echo testing > c:\folder\log.txt

I just tried that and it produced the log.txt file when I ran it in background mode.

If you want to see the processes run, I suggest you leave them in foreground mode. You could still lock the PC after logging it on if you don't want the developers to mess with them.

@Russ yes it was down for about 2 hours yesterday, now work correctly 🙂

@Severus, please look for the "tray" icon. It looks like the square Triggercmd icon. You have to click the up arrow near the clock in the lower right corner of the screen to see your tray icons.

@Russ Ty.. works for me.. Now, I will try turn off this.. lol

@Jeferson-Borges, have you found the GUI Command Editor?

You can use it to add your commands, like this:

To open the GUI Command Editor, right click the TRIGGERcmd Agent's tray icon first:

@Russ oh man, what bad news are these...! ok, let's do it from scratch again then... and I now will save a copy of my .json file in my dropbox...

thanks for the prompt answer!

@Danilo-Vaz awesome. De nada.

@bridges2, you can use nircmd to do that:

nircmd win activate title "Calculator"

I made this video on how to install nircmd so you can run it from anywhere:

@Noah-Nauman, I sent you your paypal email address. I see you do still have an active subscription. I can cancel it or you can.

@RayHollister, yes, you can download the tcmd tool and create a script like this:

tcmd --computer "laptop" --trigger "Trigger A" tcmd --computer "laptop" --trigger "Trigger B"

... and have Trigger C run that script.

@Richard-Rico, awesome, good job. I'll suggest that in the future. That's a simple way to fix it.

@Russ
I'll try doing what you suggested.
I will update it later.
Thank a lots.

@tsanchez, I found your subscription and cancelled it.

@Russ could you walk me through how to do this in simple terms and lots of clear step by step instructions? I've never used these softwares before so you can imagine how confusing this is for me to understand without having any experience doing anything remotely similar to this.

@Ancar Try unplugging the device and plugging it back in. You might also want to re-sync the device in the Google Home app.

Since your PayPal’s closed, maybe try reaching out to their support team directly?
