Computercraft startup on monitor help

[IAmChosen]

Hey guys, I have been searching and searching for the correct way to run a print program on a monitor on startup.

I have tried shell.run() in many different ways, and none of them work. The cursor position way is way too tedious, I just want a simple way to run it on the top monitor. Any help?

Just start it out as local mon = peripheral.wrap("top")

[disconsented]

shell.run(monitor PROGRAM)

Create a program called startup.

local mon = peripheral.wrap(“top”)

mon.clear()

mon.setCursorPos(1,1)

mon.write(“Random crap”)

mon.setCursorPos(1,2) — line break, because the peripheral api does not have a print method.

mon.write(“More random crap”)

etc.

startup file

shell.run("monitor","top","<PROGRAM NAME>")

Then make the program, inserting the location of the program instead of <PROGRAM NAME>

Note that all 3 argument of shell.run need quotes around them.

Thanks so much! That worked! I just didn't know there had to be commas.

Thanks, but I knew this method. It was just too tedious.
