program to reboot the amiga

jotd · 28 November 2006, 21:27

Hi,

I'm looking for a program to reboot the amiga

"reboot" is not working. It crashes my miggy.
tude hardreset works, but kills statram.device and I'd like to keep it.

What I'd need is the exact emulation of the reset/ctrl-A-A action

I've got a program called "reset". You want to try that?

pbareges · 28 November 2006, 22:09

tude reset maybe ?

The "Reboot" program is on the Install disk.

mr_a500 · 28 November 2006, 22:20

Yeah, but he said "reboot" crashes for some reason. I put "reset" in the Zone.

Why people want to replace the good old key combination "Ctrl - Amiga - Amiga" is beyond me !!

He doesn't want to replace it, he probably wants to reboot the machine from software without displaying the message "reboot your machine now".

Maybe to load something up that needs a lot of chipram or something.

Maybe it's beyond you because you don't know what he's trying to do.

I use a program to reboot because Ctrl-Amiga-Amiga doesn't work on my keyboard anymore.

Thanks for all the answers. I want to reboot once, because my gfx board gives me a red screen if WB is not loaded in PAL first (don't ask me why).

The solution for an autoboot is ATM load WB in PAL, set a file in SD0:, and reboot by hand after a while. I'd like to automation it a little more by using a script which would WAIT 30 then REBOOT/RESET. Next time it boots, it detects the file in SD0 and boots using the gfx board.
That's it.

Dose exec.library/ColdReboot() not work ?

Is a reboot really necessary? If you can use Screenmode to set a gfx board mode after booting in PAL saving a scrennmode configuration in a file and a few lines like

wait x
copy sys:Prefs/Presets/ScreenMode_RTG ENV:Sys/screenmode.prefs

placed between loadwb and endcli in startup-sequence or in a script in WBStartup should work.

Hmm, I've made a boot utility that detects "Fake NTSC" mode and resets until true PAL is detected. Would that do it for you? You'd need a boot floppy (or you could install it on the hard drive manually, at your risk

)

maybe the best is to found why.

my amiga have this kind of problem (freeze just when switching to gfx card mode) and annoyed me lots of months and the problem has been resolved when changing my tower to a dbox one.

I think in my old micronik1 plastic tower have an electric problem between the power supply and the motherboard (the power supply of the micronik has been electric tested good).

not a good answer of the main subject on the thread but maybe could give ideas
