Did you simply write the commands into the welcome config file?

Followed the instructions here:
/etc/eos-apps-info/pageinfo/welcome/welcome.html

Basically, I just created a file: $HOME/.config/welcome-own-cmds.conf with the following contents:

#!/bin/bash

# Contents of file $HOME/.config/welcome-own-cmds.conf.

# Own commands:
# - Create a local array variable 'welcome_own_commands'.
# - Add yad form fields as in the example below.
# - To have own commands activated initially, set local variable 'activate_own_commands_tab' to "yes";
#   otherwise the default tab is initially active.
# - Layout: specify the number of columns for the buttons on the Personal Commands tab.

local welcome_own_commands=(
    # Legend: --field=" name!icon!description":fbtn "command"

    --field=" TRIM check schedule!":fbtn \
            "RunInTerminal 'sudo systemctl status fstrim.timer'"
    --field=" TRIM run now!":fbtn \
            "RunInTerminal 'sudo systemctl start fstrim.timer'"
    --field=" Check disk space!":fbtn \
            "RunInTerminal 'sudo btrfs filesystem usage /'"
    --field=" SCRUB status!":fbtn \
            "RunInTerminal 'sudo btrfs scrub status /'"
    --field=" SCRUB run now!":fbtn \
            "RunInTerminal 'sudo btrfs scrub start /'"
    --field=" Count snapshots!":fbtn \
            "RunInTerminal 'sudo btrfs subvolume list -ts / | wc -l'"
)

local activate_own_commands_tab=yes
local columns_for_own_commands=2
local show_predefined_buttons_at_own_commands=no

Very minor thing, but you don’t need sudo for these.

Just noticed the new api at the bottom, easier and cleaner to configure, thanks manuel

The new api should be better to use and less error prone too.
