Help wanted with making networkconnecting selfstart at boot

77slevin · 16 April 2022, 15:10

I have installed AmigaOS 3.2.1 on a HDF image which I'm using to boot with Minimig on an MiSTer FPGA setup. For network stack I use a paid version of Roadshow (Latest version) and it is working swimmingly if I manually start it from CLI. I'm starting it with

Code:

ppp_dailer S:PPP-Configurations/PPP

from CLI and it connects. Wanting to automate this I added to my User-Startup:

Code:

run >NIL: C:PPP_dialer S:PPP-Configurations/PPP

The tutorial said to use this:

Code:

run <nil: >nil: ppp_dialer S:PPP-Configurations/PPP

but that <nil: must be a typo, right, why 2 NIL's?

Anyway, nor mine or the tutorial line works, what is the correct way to auto start this command?

Is your network ready when you start the "connection" in U-S?

Did not know that, only ever saw >NIL:. Will try again. Yes my network is ready, I added the auto start line after the assigns are made for Roadshow, also in User-Startup.

Found the correct way to make it work from User-Startup, just putting it here for future reference:

run <>NIL: ppp_dialer S:PPP-Configurations/PPP

Dead last in the User-Startup and it's all gravy now.
