Hello I am starting a new Tekkit server and I want to display the rules on a monitor at spawn.
I got this to work however whenever I leave the server the monitor no longer displays the text!
I already tried adding shell.run("monitor", "back", "text") to the startup but I can still not fix the problem.
Any help would be very much appreciated!

The chunk is being unloaded. If you're in tekkit search for a World Anchor (railcraft) and place it near the computer

Perhaps we could see the code of "text"?

I tried the world anchor, and put it right next to the computer, but when I logged off and logged back in the text was not displayed.

Request Your Own Title my code was just a bunch of print "____" and then I added into the startup shell.run("monitor", "back", "text")

This seems to help on older versions of CC:

while true do
  print("____")
  print("____")
  print("and so on")
  sleep(5)
  shell.run("clear")
end

Actually, I was under the impression that "Request Your Own Title" was a hint to change my title, so I did. Only it changed back after a bit.

As Orwell says, running text on a timed loop should help.

I tried what you said Orwell, but for some reason it still does not work!

What exactly happens, checked01? Have you edited the bios file?

@remiX
I have not edited the bios file at all.
What happens is when I start up the text splash with the command "monitor back text" in the console, it displays. As soon as I log out or leave then chunk no matter if there is a world anchor there the text no longer displays.

There's one way I know to fix this. It's kinda crazy but works. Put a turtle next to one block of the monitor and let it break a monitor block and place it back once in a while. Replacing a block of the monitor helps displaying the content again.
