A way to find out if a computer is trying to turn it on

Hello

I've thought about making the turtles & computers able to know when a "peripheral.call(side, "turnOn")" is executed.

But i've not found a solution…

What i want is be able to tell when another computer executes the "turnOn" command through the peripheral.
Is this in any way possible?



Thanks in advance

Other than sending it rednet message after you turn it on, I don't know of any way to do this.

Yeah, that was my first thought. my second thought was emitting a short redstone pulse to a specific side… but meh. That wont make it easy.


Maybe this should be a suggestion?

I can't really see a reason for this. Why do you need it?

I was just messing around with turtles turning eachother on, when they startup, but instead i thought it'd be easier if there was some easy way for them to know who executed the command, and then do tasks afterwards
