sys:/system/rexxmast failed returncode 20

davethemackem · 19 July 2021, 19:38

Hi all
I have installed OS3.2 and am building it under WinUAE (A beefy A4000) which worked fine with all apps I installed. I installed PageStream 3 (it works fine on other configs) but now I get the error sys:/system/rexxmast failed returncode 20.
I can get around via dos but the wbstartup, user-startup and startup-sequence look fine (no entries for pagestream that I can delete)
I cannot get into Workbench and am not a great expert on AmigaOS so uness I can get it recovered it will be a rebuild. :-( any ideas. TIA

I had this issue when I upgraded from 3.1.4 to 3.2.
Rexxmast is probably started twice somewhere. Look for duplicates in user-startup, startup-sequence and wbstartup.
If rexxmast is already active and you try to run it even with RUN >NIL: it will give returncode 20.

Thank you very much Firestone, Checked it all again and there was an entry is startup-sequence (I would swear it wasnt there before but hey) after a restart of my pc and WinUAE and edited the sequence (commented out) and a quick restart, bobs your uncle. It worked so you have saved me loads of work. So my next task is to figure out how to backup and restore the drive just in case it goes wobbly again. Appreciate the advice,
Thank you again
Dave
