Rednet Help

Title: Rednet Help

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with a rednet question. I am trying to create a group 'admin' shutdown over all computers witing for the terminate command. The way i want the code to work is that it has to wait for the 'terminate' command,( i know how to do this), but it also has to be from a certain computer (identified by it's id). So can someone please write a snippet of code for me, to help me for this issue, and the code is in an 'if' statement?

Thank you so much for your time,

Edd

Well, I guess you could do it something like this (untested):

Admin:

rednet.broadcast("terminate")

Users:

id, msg = os.pullEvent("rednet_message")
if id == [admin id here] and msg == "terminate" then
shell.run("clear")
end

This should just clear the user's screen when the computer receives a message from the admin that says "terminate".

.pullEvent returns the event as the first parameter, so nope. Maybe:

local event, id, msg = os.pullEvent("rednet_message")

eddnorton, I'm still not sure what is what you want. Do you want all computers to shut instantly down when they get a "terminate" message from the admin?

Oops, that is what I meant, sorry :wacko:/>
