Description

This command enables you to queryShogun Post's internal list of scripts to see whether a particular script exists. This may be useful if you are trying to construct a set of smart scripts which call other scripts based on their existence.

Calling a script which does not exist will cause the calling script to fail, which is almost always undesirable.

This command is largely superseded by the runScript command.
