And for local tasks:
~/somescript.lc
...where line 1 of somescript.lc is:
#!/path/to/your/copy/of/livecodeserver
Or launch the engine and specify the script in the command line:
~/livecode-server somescript.lc
Lots of flexibility mixing and matching LC with other tools to make the
best use of what each brings to the table.
