Run a script

Synopsis
runscript(script, host, log)

Description
Run a script, optionally on another host. Specification of a log file is optional - if not specified, output is logged in the current glish session.

Important The script must exit explicitly if executive is to detect the end of processing. Thus, you must put as the last executed line exit(1).

Important Note that the scripts run in a separate instance of glish. Thus variables such as tools defined in the current glish session will not be available inside the script.
