Rednet programming

HAHA COMPLETE! i tried removing the quotes around the key i wanted pressed and it worked!

function main()
local sSide = "back" --side monitor is on

local mon = peripheral.wrap(sSide)
    if not mon then
        print("No monitor on ", sSide)
        return
    elseif mon then
        main2()
    end
end

function main2()
local serverID = 0 -- computer connecting to sever
local sSide = "back" --monitor side again
local clear = "clear" -- command to clear screen
local command = "command" -- command to be able to run other programs, will send you to function command()
local music = "music" -- to turn on music in the disk drive connected
local drive = "right" -- side drive is on
local mon = peripheral.wrap("back")
mon.setCursorPos(1,1)
term.redirect(mon)
while true do
rednet.open("left") -- change to side modem is on
    event, id, msg, param1 = os.pullEvent()
        if event == "rednet_message" then
            if id == serverID then
                if msg == clear then
                    mon.clear()
                    mon.setCursorPos(1,1)
                elseif msg == command then
                    rom()
                elseif msg == music then
                    disk.playAudio(drive) 
                else
                   print(msg)
                end
            end 
        elseif event == "char" and param1 == r then
            os.reboot()  
        end
    end
end

function rom()
local serverID = 0 -- again the computer connecting
local exit = "exit" -- what you want to go back to putting text on the monitor
    while true do
    local id, msg = rednet.receive()
        if id == serverID then
            if msg == exit then
                main2()
            else shell.run(msg)
            end
        end
    end
end

main()

before the end of the script and the last end put

shell.run(msg)

but the msg has to be something like "rom/exampleDirectory/exampleProgram" instead of shell.run("rom/exampleDirectory/exampleProgram")

i could do that, which is good but what i also want is if its connected to a screen i want to be able to remotely edit the text.

I hate to advertise, but it kinda sounds like you're looking for nsh. Are you wanting a program that does that, or are you wanting to code it yourself? If it's just the first one, check out nsh.

i'm wanting to code for myself and i have been doing so, and i don't mind about adverts lol

Edit: I've tried your nsh and i like it, it makes it so i can edit or so whatever from far away, which is nice, but i like mine moreish since i'm almost done only thing left is to figure out how to make it shutdown or exit the program…
