KeePass / Discussion / Help: Using Triggers on Linux

pete - 2019-09-19

Hi

Linux Mint 19.2 Tina
Keepass 2.43 portable
I would like to copy Keepass' folder to the host every time the database has been saved and the hostname equals the name of my own computer.
Can somebody tell me, if this can be done on linux using Triggers and if yes how? I tried "Environment variable" but no success.

thx

What have you tried? Trigger details please.

Is clipboard copy of trigger (below) fullfilling your needs?

Your trigger seems to have format problems in the paramters. How did you create the trigger?

<action>
    <typeguid>CfePcyTsT+yItiXVMPQ0bg==</typeguid>
    <parameters>
        <parameter>
        <parameter>Test</parameter>
        <parameter>0</parameter>
        <parameter>0</parameter>
        <parameter>0</parameter>
        <parameter>0</parameter>
        <parameter>0</parameter>
        <parameter>
        </parameter>
        </parameter>
    </parameters>
</action>

I've created this timed message test to see if the environment variable works. It runs every 10 seconds.
Close KeePass, change the hostname in the trigger and paste it into the trigger section of your config file. It should show up and allow you to edit /disable it after the test.

I've edited your original trigger to fix the formatting. It pastes into KeePass and seems to be OK.

I created throug Keepass GUI but <action> not yet declared.</action>

Your "timed message" example does not work. I replaced the content of "Value" field from "Environment Variable" with the Name of my computer. Nothing happens.
When I set "Condition" to "Not (negate result of condition below)", message box is showing up (Att.).

I appreciate your help.

Cheers
pete

I don't have a Linux machine to test the EVs so this is a guess.
Replace $hostname with %hostname%, or similar. Also try $home.

Unsuccessfully tried all and a lot more. I managed to se my computers name on the output with your "timed message" having set "Trigger/actions/Show message box/Text" to "{CMD:°hostname°M=C°}". But using the same entry on "Trigger/Conditions/Environment variable/Name" does not work. It's a pitty.

On a mind lightning I just tried the entry on "Trigger/Conditions/String/String" and wow... it's working :-)

What did you use in the string fields?

"{CMD:°hostname°M=C°}"

Because this returned the name of my computer when used in "Trigger/Actions/Show message box/Text" in your "Timed message" trigger, mind flash was to try this on "Trigger/Conditions/String /String" of my "Lokale Kopie" Trigger. This actually works like expected and does what I want :)
