Hello,
I am really new to programming language but have been recently messing around with it. After creating, revising, testing, failing, revising, researching, re-testing, revising, re-testing and finally failing to generate a simple freaking startup script I have turned to the experts.
So, what I am trying to do is just have my turtles turn on automatically when I login/install chunk loader to do the same after server reset.
I researched the os.run API from the wiki and currently have this small script just to run my program but honestly I am not even sure if the last part of the code or any of it actually works for what I need it to do.
> edit Startup
> os.run({}, "rom/programs/Command")
Ctrl > Save
Ctrl > Exit
> reboot
Goodbye
Default turtle text (startup program failed)
There was nothing else on the wiki about if I needed to put an "end" at the bottom or whatnot, but like I said. I just want the darn things to turn on so I don't have to go manually type in the program to 64 mining turtles for my mining barge.
Any help would be much appreciated.

You first need to clear the screen and you might wanna use shell.run

Use "startup", not "Startup".

And just to be sure, there IS a program called "Command" in /rom/programs/, right? If not, make sure your command points to a valid program.

Note that the programs you save, go to the folder '/'. So combined with the above: shell.run('yourpathtoprogram')
saved in the startup file.
saved in the startup file.

Thank you all for replying. These were the two replies I found most helpful in my quest! The original code was mostly fine, but I needed to recreate the file as "startup" not "Startup" and secondly I needed to delete the "rom/programs" part of the code because it did not recognize that as a correct directory path.
Thank you all again it was very much appreciated!
Regards,
Sig
