Help with running a program on restart!

Hi, I was wondering how I would start a computer on restart (Such as in single player) without having to manually having to restart the computer by accessing it. Thanks!

A computer/turtle should automatically start when its chunk loads (so long as it was running when that chunk unloaded), though some older versions of ComputerCraft have been reported as a bit buggy in this regard.

When starting, they'll execute the script "startup" (assuming that exists on their drive).

now, if you want to do a specific script i would do something like:

function reboot(arg)
  rb = fs.open("startup", "w")
  rb.write(arg)
  rb.close()
  os.reboot()
end
reboot("shell.run('proj/game')")

This would save a file to the startup for what to do next after rebooting.

that'd save a syntax error… the last line should read

reboot("shell.run('proj/game')")

yup, forgot the ' and the ) thnx :)/>
