    From RickV@1:103/705 to All on Sun Oct 5 08:20:23 2025
    Hello everybody!

    Is there a way to run an event from a Linux terminal with just a command line?

    Do you mean a Timed Event configured in SCFG->External Programs->Timed Events? Yes, they can be triggered by creating ('touching') a semaphore file from a Linux command-line:
