Run a Task with a shell command line

[czed]

Hello,

Is it possible to run a  Tasker's task by running a command line in Android's Shell ?

Example : tasker task1.xml

I don't want to run a command line from Tasker but a task from a command line.

Tank you

PS : My goal is to run some task remotely

I think you could use

Event - Intent Received for that in Tasker

as Action set something like net.dinglish.tasker.MYTASK1

then if you send the correct Intent from the command line, tasker will catch this and you can act appropriately..

not sure about how exactly you send an intent from cli but I have seen it somewhere..

This should then also allow you to do it remotely over SSH..

It may be a little hard to send an intent for me
But when I was looking for the event intent, I also see the event file and particulary file modified

So I create a profile that will trigger when a file is modified, and a task which read the contents of the file to find out what other task to run

To modifiy the file, I use the echo command (echo "task1" > myfile)

Thank you to set me on the right track

The way you're supposed to trigger it is using:

am broadcast -a net.dinglisch.android.tasker.ACTION_TASK -e task_name ThisIsTheNameOfYourTask
