Computer/reactor/redstone?

Hello all,
Here is my question; I am using Emily Backes' program to control my reactor and it works really well. However in the server I am in every time I log off (or my internet fails) the program stops and I have to go turn it back on. So I was wondering if there is a way to make it so that when I warp in I land on a pressure plate to send a redstone signal to start the program automaticly?

Thank you very much,
Blaze

a suggestion i can make is use a chunk loader from one of the mods or use the world anchor from railcraft to keep whatever chunk the computer is in loaded so the minute your world starts the computer chunk gets loaded in but bear in mind that the world anchor or chunk loader needs to be in whatever chunk you want to keep loaded but i am sure one of the other guys can make a better suggestion

Name your script "startup" and it should automatically run when the chunk is loaded. There is a known bug that causes computers to not load correctly, but the cause is unknown. The bug affects most CC versions, and is hard to program around.

It's impossible to "wake" a computer with redstone, however it could be done with another computer. This way, you could turn on a single computer which turns on all your other computers.
