Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| script | string | Filename of script to execute. |
| threadOrOptions | number | RunOptions | (Optional) Either an integer number of threads for new script, or a RunOptions object. Threads defaults to 1. |

void
Remarks
RAM cost: 2 GB
Terminates the current script, and then after a delay of about 10 seconds it will execute the newly-specified script. 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.
Running this function with 0 or fewer threads will cause a runtime error.
Example
//The following example will execute the script ‘foo.js’ with 10 threads and the arguments ‘foodnstuff’ and 90:
ns.spawn('foo.js', 10, 'foodnstuff', 90);
