1178N/A.LP
1178N/A\f3jrunscript\fP is a command line script shell. jrunscript supports both an interactive (read\-eval\-print) mode and a batch (\-f option) mode of script execution. This is a scripting language independent shell. By default, JavaScript is the language used, but the \-l option can be used to specify a different language. Through Java to scripting language communication, jrunscript supports "exploratory programming" style.

test.js is script file to execute and arg1, arg2 and arg3 are passed to script as script arguments. Script can access these using "arguments" array.

If JavaScript is used, then before evaluating any user defined script, jrunscript initializes certain built\-in functions and objects. These JavaScript built\-ins are documented in jsdocs.
