Example

Notes

This object needs to be run every time a script is to be executed. Since the script and data are persistent (see sendData and sendScript) it is completely possible to execute a script multiple times without sending more data.

Since the actual script execution may take a long time, this object should be considered to launch the script in the background. That is, the script is started but this object terminates immediately and does NOT wait for the script execution to complete. In a typical case one would use a polling loop with checkStatus to determine if the script execution is complete.
