@sverd, I think the problem is your path includes spaces, so you need to quote it like this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\SonicWALL\SSL-VPN\NetExtender\NEGui.exe"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\lync.exe"

Without the quotes, it's trying to run a program called c:\program.

@web-desk, what OS are you running on the two servers? I just tested on one of my Win2012 R2 servers with recent updates and had a problem - it just didn't install the service. Can you please try this?

1. Close the TRIGGERcmd tray icon
2. Right-click the TRIGGERcmd Agent icon and click "Run as administrator".
3. Right-click TRIGGERcmd tray icon, click Background Service - Install Background Service
4. Run Services.msc and see if you have a TRIGGERcmdAgent service

@jackmonkey, you should be root when you run triggercmdagent and paste in your token, so switch to root with sudo su -. Please try that and do another ls /root/.TRIGGERcmdData -larth.

Here's an example Powershell script you could use to call the TRIGGERcmd API to run a remote command:

$postdata = @{
    trigger='notepad'
    computer='Laptop'
    # params='optionalparameter.txt'
}

$token=Get-Content ~\.TRIGGERcmdData\token.tkn

$headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"
$headers.Add("authorization", "Bearer " + $token)

$json = $postdata | ConvertTo-Json
$response = Invoke-RestMethod 'https://www.triggercmd.com/api/run/triggerSave' -Method Post -Body $json -ContentType 'application/json' -Headers $headers

@pico, that's interesting. I'll experiment with that. I hope it works. Thanks for the suggestion.

EDIT: I worked on it for a while and didn't get it working. I couldn't get it to add the Login item while it's quarantined. I think that's a mac security feature for apps downloaded outside of the app store.

@alain-coderre, this is the latest from Google tech support. They've acknowledged a problem on their end, but it's still taking a while.

Hi,

Thank you for the confirmation. I will coordinate this to our internal team to continue the investigation. We will provide updates as soon as we finished the investigation. We thank you for your patience and understanding.

@jgodney, I'll answer each question by number:

1. Did you enable parameters on the command you ran from Zapier? Also did notepad open, or did it give you a prompt like this?
   

2. Yes - multiple parameters are separated by a space.

3. No - you can send an unlimited number of parameters, separated by spaces. Actually batch files can accept more than 9 too.

4. From here I see, "On computers running Microsoft Windows XP or later, the maximum length of the string that you can use at the command prompt is 8191 characters"

@klimesvl, I see you signed up and cancelled today. I'll refund your money. I hope you'll re-subscribe.

Thanks to @Xander's feature request, I created a command line tool you can use instead of curl to easily run commands on your remote computer by running a tcmd command on your local computer.

I wrote it in Go so I could easily compile a version for each OS, like Linux, Windows or Mac (Darwin), and each CPU architecture like 32bit (386) or 64bit (amd64).

Just download the tool you need for your OS, and rename it to tcmd. The rename is not required, but I recommend it for simplicity.

These are the versions:

Mac 32bit
Mac 64bit
Linux 32bit
Linux 64bit
Linux arm (Raspberry Pi)
Windows 32bit
Windows 64bit (most common)

If you want to try running the Linux version in Windows bash, you'll want to copy your token.tkn file to your bash home folder like this:

mkdir ~/.TRIGGERcmdData
cp /mnt/c/Users/Russ/.TRIGGERcmdData/token.tkn ~/.TRIGGERcmdData/
tcmd -computer DS -trigger notepad -params russ.txt

Here's an example from my Raspberry Pi:

wget https://triggercmdagents.s3.amazonaws.com/tcmd_cli/tcmd-linux-arm
mv tcmd-linux-arm tcmd
chmod +x ./tcmd
./tcmd
No trigger specified.  Use --help or -h for help.
./tcmd -h
NAME:
tcmd - Run commands on computers in your TRIGGERcmd account
  USAGE:
    tcmd-linux-arm [options]

  OPTIONS:
    --trigger value, -t value   Trigger name of the command you want to run
    --computer value, -c value  Name of the computer (leave blank for your default computer)
    --params value, -p value    Any parameters you want to add to the remote command
    --help, -h                  show help
    --version, -v               print the version

./tcmd -c ds -t calculator
{"data":    {"user":"58bb3a75f2f63133224755b1","computer":"5a2f8be70f883803178e0dee","name":"Calculator","voice":"calculator","voiceReply":null,"allowParams":false,"runCount":24,"createdAt":"2018-03-30T22:59:35.862Z","updatedAt":"2018-06-23T15:48:04.031Z","id":"5abec157a745e8110063aa18"},"message":"Trigger sent."}

@willie8, what operating system are you using? Are you using CTRL-V to paste? Or I think it's Command-V on a mac.

I think you might be trying to choose the Paste option from the Edit pulldown. I just tested that and I see it doesn't work. Thanks for pointing that out (assuming that menu option is what you're trying to use).

@Xander, please test this when you get a chance.

I put a link to each version in this forum post:
https://www.triggercmd.com/forum/topic/196/tcmd-go-command-line-tool-is-available-now

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.

@xander, no I'm used to using curl, but I realize most people aren't. So ok - I get your point it - it would be useful. I'll work on it.

Thanks again for your input @Xander.

@asussupport, please clarify. Are you getting an error?

Thanks @guido-angeli !

@xander, the best method for now is to use curl to call the API like this:

curl -X POST https://www.triggercmd.com/api/run/triggerSave -H "authorization: Bearer (token from instructions page)" -H "content-type: application/json" -d "{\"computer\":\"DS\",\"trigger\":\"notepad\",\"params\":\"c:\\users\\Russ\\.TRIGGERcmdData\\commands.json\"}"

I'm thinking of creating a Go executable that would call the API. It would be a simpler command line. Would the be helpful?

Home Assistant (aka Hass.io) is a popular automation system sort of like SmartThings but it's open source.

Here's how you trigger commands on your computers from Home Assistant using a RESTful Command.

Add this to the end of your configuration.yaml file:

rest_command:
  triggercmd_calculator:
    url: 'https://www.triggercmd.com/api/run/triggerSave'
    method: "post"
    content_type: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
    payload: "trigger=calculator&computer=russfam&token=(your token from Instructions page)"

You can test it by clicking the little cell phone icon in the lower left under Developer tools, then select rest_command.triggercmd_calculator in the Service field, then click CALL SERVICE. This is what it should look like:

I installed Home Assistant on my QNAP nas as a Docker container. If you do that, I recommend these two settings:

1. Create a folder you have access to, and mount it as /config in your container. That will give you easy access to the configuration files, and when you upgrade the container, you can re-mount this folder to /config.
2. Use HOST networking, so you can access Home Assistant at a URL like http://nas:8123.

@guido-angeli, assuming you're using Windows, you could create a batch file with these contents:

start http://www.site.com/search?q=%1%%20%2%%20%3%%20%4

Save it as something like c:\tools\sitesearch.bat, and make a command in TRIGGERcmd that runs it, with parameters enabled.

Then setup your IFTTT webhook like this:

@robert-hare, assuming your computer runs Windows, you could use a batch file. Batch files are just text files with a series of commands. They end with a .bat extension. You could make a batch file with these contents for example:

start calc
timeout 5
start notepad

That batch file will run calculator, then wait 5 seconds, then run notepad.

Just copy that text, run notepad, paste the text in notepad, then save the file to a folder, like to c:\tools\test.bat

@drmodding, thank you. Please let me know if it works or not.
