We are trying hard to set up an Amiga 2500/30 with UUCP so we can connect with
a Unix through the RS232 port directly, without a modem. The problem is that
after we make the alterations to the startup files we get the following message
on bootup: "EXECUTE: No K directive
execute failed return code 20"
We have not made any alterations to the files distributed with the program.
Any help anyone out there can give would be really useful. Or if someone could
send us their startup files, we could try to work from them. Thanks much.

Also, if that doesn't fix it, then you could modify the script so that it has .key junk/s on the first line. That will keep it happy.

From article <Mar.12.19.20.49.1991.16708@dorm.rutgers.edu>, by silk@dorm.rutgers.edu (Silk Merchant): > on bootup: "EXECUTE: No K directive > execute failed return code 20" I would guess that you need to include something similar to the following in your start-sequence (or user-startup) .BRA { .KET } Are you doing redirection anywhere (such as when you fire up cron)? run <nil: >nil: dcron can cause problems if you don't change your braket characters, as EXECUTE will try to interpret <nil: > as an argument. -- VAX Headroom Speaking for myself only... blah blah blahblah blah...

I have a non-autobooting hard-drive (WB1.2 ROMS to be exact) and I have to boot off floppy and then transfer to the HD after MOUNTing it... Now, I ran into this little nasty not too long after that. I'm not sure if it's a bug or just something strange, but I cleared it up by passing a "junk" paramter to the execute...

[Problems with "EXECUTE: No K directive" deleted] I can't say for sure, but I had this problem until I threw away the ARP Execute command, and replaced it with the standard 1.3 Execute.
