|
|
|
The purpose of this function is to execute a new script without being constrained by the RAM usage of the current one.
|
|
|
|
|
This function can only be used to run scripts on the local server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because this function immediately terminates the script, it does not have a return value.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following example will execute the script 'foo.script' with 10 threads and the arguments 'foodnstuff' and 90::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
spawn('foo.script', 10, 'foodnstuff', 90);
