Hey,
you can run a program on a monitor using: monitor <side where the monitor is placed(e.g. "left")> <program name> <arguments (if requested)>

That's what he's saying. Have a file that has this in it:
print("This is a job board")
And then run the file name like this
monitor [side] [file name]

I see you need help. I recomend you go visit the wiki first. Everything in computercraft is ran using lua. If you want to know CC then get familiar with Lua. It won't take too long. And we're all here to help.

Here Ya Go,

mon = peripheral.wrap("side")
mon.write("Hello World!")
if you want to set the Cursor Position, mon.setCursorPos(x,y)
