Overview
The Commands section in Trio allows administrators to remotely execute system-level actions on managed devices. This functionality supports efficient device administration and automation, reducing the need for hands-on IT intervention.
1. Accessing Commands
To navigate to the Commands panel:
Go to the Devices section from the left sidebar.
Click on the Commands tab at the top of the screen.
You will see three sub-tabs:
Commands – the main command creation and overview area.
Queued – lists commands that are scheduled for execution.
Results – displays the outcome of executed commands.
2. Using Command Templates
The Commands template section includes predefined command templates. These simplify common administrative tasks. Available templates include:
✅ Convert to 64-Bit (Windows)
Executes a command to switch a device from a 32-bit environment (syswow64) to 64-bit (sysnative).
→ Click + Create from template to use this command.
✅ Shell Script (macOS)
Intended for executing shell commands on macOS devices. This is a placeholder for future templates on macOS.
→ Click + Create from template to define your custom shell script.
✅ 64-Bit MultiLine (Windows)
Supports multi-line commands using a here-string (@'...'@) syntax with single quotes for variables. Ideal for complex scripts.
→ Click + Create from template to start.
In addition to these templates, there are many other command templates users can utilize within Trio. Each one is provided with the explanations and setup guide.
3. Creating Custom Commands
If you want to create a command from scratch:
Click the + Add button on the right panel.
Enter the command name and choose the appropriate platform.
Write or paste your command code.
Save it to use or assign to devices.
You can also filter and sort commands using the:
Filter button (to refine command visibility),
Sort by dropdown (by name, date, etc.),
List/Grid toggle to change how commands are displayed.
4. Managing Commands
Once commands are created or added, they appear in the list below.
Currently, the message “No commands yet” means no commands have been added to your account.
When commands are present:
You’ll be able to run, edit, view results, or delete them.
Click on any command for full details and execution options.
5. Execution Status
Use the Queued tab to:
Track pending or scheduled commands.
Use the Results tab to:
View execution logs, success or failure status, and any outputs from the command run.
Notes
Commands are platform-specific. Ensure the selected template or custom command matches the device OS.
This feature is ideal for remote IT administration, especially in distributed or BYOD environments.
