 DM> The 'system' object is available in all Synchronet JS environments
 DM> (jsexec, servers, servces), while 'bbs' is only available in the
 DM> Terminal Server (for telnet, Rlogin, SSH connections).

 DM> The bbs.exec() can be used to execute a native program with redirected 
 DM> input/output. system.exec() does not support redirected I/O.

 DM> If your script is intended for use in the terminal server, I would use 
 DM> bbs.exec().

I see, thanks.
