Pause the picture

The Amiga can stop reading its screen for a while, so a test, a benchmark or a demo has the CPU and the chip bus to itself. Mouse, keys, commands and files keep working; only the screen capture stops.

  • In the remote desktop: Pause the picture for 1, 5 or 15 minutes; Resume ends it early.
  • For the AI agent: amiga_pause_screen.
  • On the Amiga, by ARexx: address AMIGENT 'PAUSE 300' and 'RESUME'.

Updating an Amiga that runs Amigent already

  • From the PC or Mac: pipx upgrade amigent, then amigent-setup --update. It puts the new amigentd on the Amiga by network.
  • On the Amiga: unpack the archive and double-click Amigent-Update in its drawer.

Key, certificate and the start line in S:User-Startup (TLSONLY too) stay. If the new amigentd does not start, the old one starts again. Older PCs keep working with the new amigentd; the pause needs both sides on 1.2.0.

Files

  • amigent-1.2.0.lha: the Amiga half (amigentd for 68020+, amigentd.000 for 68000, amigent-status, Amigent-Update). On Aminet it is now simply comm/net/amigent.lha.
  • The PC or Mac half: pipx install amigent (or pipx upgrade amigent).
