Unless otherwise noted, a "command" or "command word" are standard actions, and like their descriptions say, the energy effect remains on the weapon until de-activated with the same command. You can have mental command words or thoughts, either as standard, swift, immediate, or free actions (though I'm not sure if there are any free action command thought items listed anywhere). Many items in Magic Item Compendium work like that. But even ignoring that book, in the psionic section of the SRD the idea of a standard action command thought exists, since many items there require that method.</blockquote>
