**NAME**
       jrunscript - Runs a command-line script shell that supports interactive
       and batch modes. This command is experimental and unsupported.

**SYNOPSIS**
       **jrunscript** [_options_] [_arguments_]


       _options_
              The command-line options. See Options.

       _arguments_
              Arguments, when used, follow immediately after options or the
              command name. See Arguments.

**DESCRIPTION**
       The **jrunscript** command is a language-independent command-line script
       shell. The **jrunscript** command supports both an interactive (read-eval-
       print) mode and a batch (**-f** option) mode of script execution. By
       default, JavaScript is the language used, but the **-l** option can be used
       to specify a different language. By using Java to scripting language
       communication, the **jrunscript** command supports an exploratory
       programming style.

**OPTIONS**
       -classpath _path_
              Indicate where any class files are that the script needs to
              access.

       -cp _path_
              Same as **-classpathpath**.

       -D_name_=_value_
              Sets a Java system property.

       -J_flag_
              Passes **flag** directly to the Java Virtual Machine where the
              **jrunscript** command is running.

       -I _language_
              Uses the specified scripting language. By default, JavaScript is
              used. To use other scripting languages, you must specify the
              corresponding script engine's JAR file with the **-cp** or
              **-classpath** option.

       -e _script_
              Evaluates the specified script. This option can be used to run
              one-line scripts that are specified completely on the command
              line.

       -encoding _encoding_
              Specifies the character encoding used to read script files.

       -f _script-file_
              Evaluates the specified script file (batch mode).

       -f -
              Reads and evaluates a script from standard input (interactive
              mode).

       -help
              Displays a help message and exits.

       -?
              Displays a help message and exits.

       -q
              Lists all script engines available and exits.

**ARGUMENTS**
       If arguments are present and if no **-e** or **-f** option is used, then the
       first argument is the script file and the rest of the arguments, if
       any, are passed to the script. If arguments and **-e** or the **-f** option are
       used, then all arguments are passed to the script. If arguments, **-e** and
       **-f** are missing, then interactive mode is used. Script arguments are
       available to a script in an engine variable named **arguments** of type
       **String** array.

**EXAMPLES**
   **EXECUTE** **INLINE** **SCRIPTS**
       **jrunscript** **-e** **"print('hello** **world')"**
       **jrunscript** **-e** **"cat('<http://www.example.com>')"**


   **USE** **SPECIFIED** **LANGUAGE** **AND** **EVALUATE** **THE** **SCRIPT** **FILE**
       **jrunscript** **-l** **js** **-f** **test.js**


   **INTERACTIVE** **MODE**
       **jrunscript**
       **js>** **print('Hello** **World\n');**
       **Hello** **World**
       **js>** **34** **+** **55**
       **89.0**
       **js>** **t** **=** **new** **java.lang.Thread(function()** **{** **print('Hello** **World\n');** **})**
       **Thread[Thread-0,5,main]**
       **js>** **t.start()**
       **js>** **Hello** **World**
       **js>**


   **RUN** **SCRIPT** **FILE** **WITH** **SCRIPT** **ARGUMENTS**
       The test.js file is the script file. The **arg1**, **arg2** and **arg3** arguments
       are passed to the script. The script can access these arguments with an
       arguments array.

       **jrunscript** **test.js** **arg1** **arg2** **arg3**


**SEE** **ALSO**
       If JavaScript is used, then before it evaluates a user defined script,
       the **jrunscript** command initializes certain built-in functions and
       objects. These JavaScript built-ins are documented in JsDoc-Toolkit at
       <http://code.google.com/p/jsdoc-toolkit/>
