Perfect! Thanks for your help!

I'm wanting to use this to restart mysqld using ifttt on a server that does NOT have a GUI.

All the docs I'm reviewing state to launch a GUI to create the command.
Nothing like that in the TriggerCMD interface.

Take a look at this AI generated result from Google Search:

@Russ
the restart and status check worked!

I used apt for the removal and node update.

Thanks again for your help!

@Russ
Well I did as you suggesteed:

1. node 16 is no longer supported, so I installed node 20 LTS

The server was seen in the TriggerCMD web console.\

However, when I ran systemctl status triggercmdagent, shows failure and the server is disconnected from the console.
Notice too the error thrown before I issued the status command.

Here's the code:

root@twilight2:~# rm -rf ~/.TRIGGERcmdData
root@twilight2:~# node /usr/lib/triggercmdagent/resources/app/src/agent.js --console
Run installdaemon.sh to install the triggercmdagent daemon so it runs during boot
Daemon install: false
No token exists.  Login to request one.
prompt: token:  [hidden]
Token saved for next time.

Great, thank you!

@Russ Thanks for your update.
Did as you prescribed.

Threw an error "can't find module 'fs/promises'"

restarted triggercmdagent

but then when I check status states that service has failed.

Here's the complete sequence:

This is a server, no GUI
Logged in as a user.
Installation is normal until the end:

N: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/home/gigaboy/triggercmdagent_1.0.1_amd64.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)
gigaboy@twilight2:~$

I'm user gigaboy, not "apt"

After this, there is no prompt for inserting the token.

Tried this twice, uninstalled, reinstalled, same problem.

If I run the installdaemon, I get this:

gigaboy@twilight2:~$ sudo sh /usr/lib/triggercmdagent/resources/app/src/installdaemon.sh
Daemon install: true
No token exists.  Login to request one.
