ComputerCraft - Programs stop once I log off, have to restart...

[Projekt]

How do I keep them running regardless of me logging off and on again. It doesn't have to be running when I'm off, I just want it to start running again once I log back on without having to manually select the program again. Is there any additional code I'll have to input?

Thanks in advance.

create a program called "startup" with

shell.run("myProgram")

shell.run("myProgram")

Thanks for that, I was using the helloworld program. This will help, thanks!

#EDIT: Wait, hold on... How do I create a program?

Type "edit [programname]", in this case it would be "edit startup".

One thing though, this will restart the program from the beginning, not where it left off. This might or might not work depending on the program you are using. If you are on a server you could place a chunkloader where your computer/turtle works to keep it running while you are offline.

Alright, I've created a program. ratchet's idea has gotten me stuck. I have a working program to mine the block in front of it if detected. But I do not know where to insert the code he has supplied me with. I did it at the very top, but when I log off and come back on, it has stopped. Let alone if he has even supplied me with the correct code.

that chunkloader depends on the settings, some chunkloaders disable when you log off

create an entirely new program with just that line

when a computer boots it tries to run startup if it detects it, shell.run will run the specified program

Oh sweet, thanks! It works

Yeah, you need a "startup" program. Every computer on the server will attempt to load a "startup" program. It'd be best if you kept a dedicated drive/disk for every computer and just load off the disk as well. CC is horrendously cheap, for how much it can do.

You could also switch to OpenComputers, a big feature of which is that they resume programs when they reload.
