Hello Guys i got the following problem:
after every Serverrestart most of my Computers (and Turtles) won't resume what they were doing.
I edited the startup ,so they run the program (shell.run("program")) ,but as i said when i try to interact with the computers after Serverrestart ,they're not responding and i have do destroy them (Ctrl+* didn't work at all)
This is kind of messed up because my computers run my whole electricity thing in Tekkit…
Hope for a response soon:)
Greetings St0rm

Well, normally when you exit a world (or a server gets restarted), the PCs/Turtles should get switched on if they were on when it was shutdown. Maybe the server is overloaded. Clicking on a turtle and holding Ctrl+R will usually reboot the PC.

Sometimes this happens to certain worlds. No one knows why. No one knows a fix.

One of my guesses is that there's at least one computer in the world that's somehow triggering the problem. It may have certain peripherals connected. If it ever happened to me (and so far I've never been able to consistently reproduce the issue myself), I'd manually shut down all systems, then experiment with having only one turned on when the server shuts down.

My other is that the server is not shutting down correctly. If someone's doing it by eg just hitting the X up the top of the server console window, that may be sufficient to cause all sorts of problems.

This may be a chunkloading problem. Is the area that the computer is in chunkloaded? If it's not, then maybe you should consider putting a chunkloader down.
