[comp.sys.amiga] runback and execute

cosell@cosell.bbn.com (Bernie Cosell) (11/08/87)

I"m having a bit of trouble with runback.  I have an A2000 with 3megs
and my startup-sequence now takes around four (L O N G) minutes, so I
thought I'd stick some of it off in a runback.  Well, I've tried a bunch
of things and everything I do runs into the guru.  *Is* there a way to
use "execute" with runback?  If not, is there some other set of tricks
that might do for "hiding" a chunk of cli-script inside a runback?

Thanks

  Instead, why not just do a newcli in your script after cd and paths are set
up, and let your script kill the initial cli when it's done.  Some other
possibilities for breaking off some of your global startup stuff are
Newcli from scriptname, or run > nil: execute scriptname.
