I am building a server that interprets redstone and rednet signal from two computers and
then returns a redstone/rednet signal to these computers. I am using Bundled Cables as
well as Wireless Redstone, but they are not directly necessary.
There are two files named 'initLeft' and 'initRight' in the server that are used to store the value of the redstone or rednet signal coming from the left or right computers respectively. For some reason the functions pertaining to the right side of the system writes the text 'true' into 'initRight' when being sent 'whiteon' or by typing the text directly into the file, and therefore produces the 'text sucks.' message. I need the file to have either 'whiteon' or 'whiteoff' written in it in order for the rest of the system to work and be read by the functions.
Note 1: This is intended to be running many more functions similar to these at all times, so I can control machines that are l located in my house, from a far away location (including different dimensions).
Note 2: This also functions as a file initialization system which counteracts the fact that computers turn off and forget their redstone signal when the Minecraft Server or singleplayer world is shutdown. This is essential to my build.
Thanks in advance.

The code for the right computer is a simple rednet message sender, sending either 'whiteon' or 'whiteoff'.
