- Running a script on power up is quite easy, just follow these instructions:-
-
-
- Load the !Configure application on the Acorn supplied "Applications disc 1".
-
- Switch "ON" the Auto boot option.
-
- Put in the disc you want to run on power up, press F12 to get to the command
- line, type:-
-
- *opt 4,2
-
- Hit the Return key. This marks the disc as one to auto boot.
-
- Create an "obey" file with !Edit and call it !Boot
-
- The file "!Boot" should contain the following line.
-
- desktop -file Deskboot
-
- Save the file to the disc you want to run on power up.
-
- Create another "obey" file called Deskboot
-
- The file should contain the following lines:-
-
- !System.!Boot
- run adfs::Disc1.$.!Comlink.!Boot
- run adfs::Disc1.$.!ComMail.!Run
- MyScript
-
- Save the file to the disc you want to run on power up.
-
- The above assumes the disc to run on powerup is called "Disc1", change this
- as you like.
-
- Make sure the disc has the following on it (as a minimum):-
-
- !Boot
- Deskboot
- !ComLink
- !ComMail
- !System
- MyScript
-
- Now, if this disc is in the drive when the computer powers up, the Comlink
- script "MyScript" will be run. This is the script to link to the BBS etc.
-
- You may also like to put !Edit on the disc and run it on power up too,
- just add the following line to the Deskboot file on the line before
- MyScript:-
-
- run adfs::Disc1.$.!Edit.!Run
-
