Hey /> I have a program that runs on startup, to display some info as follows
repeat
print("yada")
sleep(0.3)
print("lol")
x=3
until x==10

for example /> i can use monitor front startup, but i would like the program to display into the monitor directly when the pc starts, so that i dont have to manually run the monitor after the server is restarted, so the connection to the monitor has to be inbuilt in the startup program..but why
i have this at top (before the repeat line):
local mon = peripheral.wrap("front")
if not mon then
print("error")
else
mon.clear()
end
and i tried replacing the print("yada") lines, to mon.write("yada") for example, but it only writes the first line, only executes what is before the sleep(0.3) /> Anyone can help me at this?

The write function of the monitor won't move the cursor, you need to do it yourself. Or go the easy way and redirect the terminal:

local mon = peripheral.wrap("front") -- get the monitor
term.redirect(mon) -- redirect the output to the monitor
print("Hello, I'm on a monitor!") -- print some stuff to the monitor
term.restore() -- restore the output to the terminal
