- Short: Executes some CLI-commands on reset
- Author: jgeiss@muc.de (Johannes Geiss)
- Uploader: jgeiss@muc.de (Johannes Geiss)
- Type: util/misc
-
- Version: 1.1
-
- Installes a reset handler which executes some commands on case of a reset
- (CTRL-Amiga-Amiga).
-
- Example:
-
- ExecuteOnReset "Copy RAM:log to dh1: quiet noreq" "Wait 3 secs"
-
- This installes a reset handler, which copies a file from the RAM
- disk to dh1 in case of a reset (CTRL-AMIGA-AMIGA). The Wait
- command is necessary to avoid a non validated disk on dh1.
-
- Usage: Run <>NIL: ExecuteOnReset [-p pri] string1 [string2] ...
- -p pri - priority (default: 0)
- string1 - command line 1 to execute
- string2 - optional command line 2 to execute
- ... - more command lines.
-
- Installes a reset handler which executes the command lines on case of a reset
- (CTRL-Amiga-Amiga). After execution of all commands the handler continues with
- the reset (or other installed reset handlers) imediately! So if you do some
- disk tasks add a "Wait 3 secs" line as last command to avoid non validated
- disks. You must be cautionous: The Amiga allows a maximum of 10 seconds to do
- all reset handler tasks. After this amount of time a hard reset occurs
- regardless if a command has finished or not. If you install more reset
- handlers you can choose the order of execution by the priority argument.
- The Run command is necessary to detach from the shell. A CTRL-C signal
- removes the handler.
-
- Notes:
-
- Some old Amigas do not have a hardware support for keyboard reset
- handlers. If you try this on such machines the program will not work.
