{{Function
|name=rednet.run
|api=rednet
|returns=Nothing.
|addon=ComputerCraft
|desc=Automatically started within a [[Coroutine_(type)|co-routine]] by [[bios.lua]] whenever a given system boots (regardless as to whether it has a [[modem]] available or not), this function continues to run in the background and constantly waits for [[Modem_message_(event)|modem_message]] events to appear within the event queue. On spotting them, it then generates corresponding [[Rednet_message_(event)|rednet_message]] events to go with them (which can then be "received" with [[Rednet.receive|rednet.receive()]], or pulled manually with [[Os.pullEvent|os.pullEvent()]]). As of ComputerCraft 1.6, this function also deals with responses to [[rednet.lookup|rednet.lookup()]] requests.<br><br>

As there need not be multiple instances of this function active, attempting to call it while it's already running (ie ''most any time'') results in an error being thrown ("rednet is already running").
|examples=
{{Example
|desc=Attempts to manually start the rednet event listener. 
|code=rednet.run()
|output=An error stating "rednet is already running" (as this function is started automatically during each computer's / turtle's startup process).
