redstone activated terminal

I need a code so that a computer will activate when I press a button or pull a lever

I will later make a code on a different computer to activate tis terminal

Split into new topic.

Please post your current code.

I just want it to activate with/without redstone signal so I can have some standard programs but there will be nothing else in startup

This should help you get started.

if not I would have this is startup:

function os.pullEvent()
local event, p1, p2, p3, p4, p5
if event == "terminal" then
end
return event, p1, p2, p3, p4, p5
end
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1, 1)
print "Enter Password"
print " "
write("Password:")
correctpass = "123"  -- not the actual password
pass = read("*")
if pass == (correcrpass) then
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1, 1)
write("Correct")
sleep(2)
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1, 1)
print "Welcome"
term.setCursorPos(1, 3)
else
print " "
write("Incorrect")
sleep(2)
shell.run("startup")
end

sorry typo I meant have it in startup

Ive already checked out that and im new to CC so I don't really get it :(/>

I found this code but it only activates not deactivate

while true do
os.pullEvent("redstone")
if rs.getInput("back") then
break
end
end

You are incredibly unclear about what you mean by "activate". Do you want it to run a program when a redstone signal is applied, and then stop that program when the redstone signal goes away? If so, then the "deactivation" would need to be part of the program that runs.

startup:

while true do
  _,side = os.pullEvent("redston")
  if side == "back" then
	shell.run("prog")
  end
end

prog:

begin
  -- Do stuff
  -- Kick dog
  -- Make fun of Lyqyd
  -- Get banned from CC forum
until not rs.getInput("back")
