Heya!
I own a server which is Highly reliant on computercraft. And if a chunk unloads, the computer get's unloaded aswell. However, in my custom modpack I have
Railcraft which provides World anchors so that's not a problem.
But I still have one Problem:
If i restart the Minecraft Server, all chunks get forcidly unloaded. Meaning all PC's turn off.
That wouldn't be too much of a problem if the PC's would turn on as soon as a chunk loads. But that's not tha case, so here is my question:
Is it possible to turn on computers as soon as a chunk gets loaded? Otherwise I could scrap the Internet I am working on since I would have to
open up the streets everytime to restart all routers etc.
Greetings
Obby

They should turn on as soon as the chunk loads. However, there's a (so far impossible to track down) bug that causes this behavior. How are you restarting the server? IIRC, improperly shutting down a server is one of the probable causes of this bug.

Computers that were turned on before a chunk was unloaded should turn on after a chunk is loaded again. What CC and MC versions are you using?

@MKlegoman357 I am using MC1.7.10,
this Modpack.EDIT: I am using CC 1.75. Forgot to put that in so here ya go.
@KingodGamesYami just using the normal "stop" command. (I host the server on my own PC/Server but IDK what IIRC is/means.)

Use this as a workaround
http://www.computerc...uter-activator/You can use an autonomous activator if you have thermal expansion installed
(I'd use both, they you only have to make one auto-activator)

Okay, I did a self-test, and this is what happened: I was running 6 PCs, and after the Restart, Only one of them was still on. So now I will check LDDestroier's "on".
EDIT: Semi-Worked. So it did turn all computers, but only under these Circumstances:
1. They had to be connected as a Peripheral,
2. They could only fire up one "Wire-Tree."
Solve:1: Oh well, turn everything to Peripheral Mode.
Solve:2: Well, See, My network has routers and repeaters, so unfortiounately no fix for that!
EDIT #2:
A "wake on lan that supports routers inbetween two trees" would work just fine as well, so I just set up a pc at my base, boot it up and done.
But Like I said there is no WoL out there that fits my requirements :/. Any Ideas?
EDIT #3 (I overedited this post, ikr):

have your routers/repeaters run the on script before they start their routing/repeating
--#startup file
shell.run("on")
shell.run("repeat")

Well Onfortiounately "on" is an acutal Program that YOU have to terminate and not a script that terminates itself after running, if you get my problem

Not a bad Idea. I will probably just take "on" and take the GUI bits out so it starts every avaiable computer and thats it!

or check that on doesn't have a hidden feature:
Feature suggestion, run a file after turning on all computers
Done. It's in the config (which I should make more obvious in the menu).
To have a program run on startup, set 'startupProg' to the path of the file (with arguments like "less -d butt -u
http://pastebin.com/R4DKXbzm") in the config file ('/.on_conf').
