I would like to execute a series of commands when zMUD starts, to correct the states of my push buttons. I have several toggle buttons for auto-this or auto-that, but their states are not remembered upon exiting zMUD. I would just like to restore their state to the correct on/off state based on whether or not the trigger they toggle is enabled or not.

If there's a better way to accomplish this, please enlighten me to that instead.

Thanks!

there is a alias called atconnect. When you connect to a mud, this alias is executed. just add your scripts to this alias. If your system does not already have this alias created, just create it.

You may also think about using default values on your settings.

This is different. I don't want it to happen when I connect because if I setup the alias to push the buttons, and then reconnect, the buttons get pushed again and now they're all turned off.

I want something that executes once no matter how many connections I make. I'm sure that I could have some variable with a default of 0, and set it to 1 when I initialize things, but I'm hoping for a more elegant, simple way to do things once on startup.

Thanks.

I can think of a few ways to do this, but they all work on the same premise: Button states can be tied to a variable.

Yes, what Rieper said. To expand a bit more on it, notice that in the Advanced tab, when editing a button, there is a field called Variable. Simply create a variable and put its name here. The variable will store the button's state.
