 +  * Persistent execution of static services (e.g. [[:service:ircd]]) independent of Synchronet  
 +  * Background execution of timed events (e.g. [[:module:newslink]])

 +==== Module ====
 +The ''module'' argument is optional if the standard input stream (''stdin'') is not a console (''tty''), allowing for [[#shebang]] support on Unix-like operating systems.

 +===== shebang =====
 +
 +JSexec for non-Windows platforms will ignore the first line of the interpreted script if it begins with ''#!'', allowing for a [[wp>shebang (Unix)]] style script file where the first line of the script is something like:
 +<file>
 +#!/sbbs/exec/jsexec -c/sbbs/ctrl
 +</file>
 +
 +This allows JSexec scripts to be executed easily via [[:howto:apache|CGI]] as well as other command-line conveniences on Unix-like operating systems.
