Sending a group of turtles a message to start their program

Hello,

I'm looking for a script wich allows me to run a program on several turtles, from a computer.
Does a script like that exist?

Actually, I was wondering the same thing today.

Ideally, I'd like to have a stack of (generic) turtles, plop them down in front of a disk drive, and have them load a script and then run it. (The script has them fuel up and move out of the way for the next.) The trouble is they have no startup routine and I don't know how to force a program onto a turtle and force it to run it. Maybe this is impossible?

EDIT, sorry if this is a hijack. It's a slightly different question than the OP.

loading a file onto a disk named "startup" then placing a computer or a turtle next to a drive with the disk in it will make it boot up the file named "startup". Whenever i need a script to setup multiple computers/turtles i usually have one main turtle that places and programs the others using a disk drive and a disk. Just note that the building turtle will have to use the others as a peripheral, and use peripheral.callMethod(side,"turnOn") to boot them into the startup script loaded on the disk. This is pretty easy to do, especially if you want them all to be identical.

peripheral.call("side", "turnOn"), replacing side with the actual side name. Just for clarity, since there isn't a peripheral.callMethod function.
