    @Kingnabis, you're saying you can not run notepad, correct?

    I recommend that you try using the TRIGGERcmd Smart Home Alexa skill. It recognizes your voice commands better because it has a list of what you might say ahead of time, so Alexa only has to match up what you say with something in that list.

    Is your notepad command setup like this?

    When you click the View Runs button,

    do you get a Command ran entry in your list?

            @Adrián-González-Camacho, not yet. I didn't think many Mac users would want to use it. Do you want this feature so you can run commands while you're not logged on? Just curious what your use-case is.

                @adriangcamacho, I see. I assume you don't want to leave it logged in?

                I'll have to research again how to create services that startup at boot time on a Mac.

                    I'd also like to use my mac as an automation server and it would be easier to not have to be logged in permanently. Thanks @Russ !

                      @TuneyLunes, I haven't built this into the Mac agent yet, so for now you can use this method to setup the background agent on a Mac.

                          @Alê-滝口, if the computer is running Mac or Linux, the command could be:

                          ~/yourscript.sh
                          

                          That assumes you've created a script in your home directory called yourscript.sh.

                          If the computer is running Windows, the command could be:

                          c:\scripts\yourscript.bat
                          

                          That assumes you created a c:\scripts folder, and put yourscript.bat in it.
