[erlang-questions] Can escript be used from Inets?

[Michal Ptaszek]

Hello,

After a slight modification of the escript.erl file (you will find it
in the stdlib application) you will manage to run escripts without
compiling them. All you need to do is to export one more function:
escript:do_run/3.

Of course you will need to provide the path, arguments and escript
options by yourself - but it is not a very tricky task.

The Inets' 'do' callback function should then call escript:do_run 
with the desired arguments.
