====Execute Script====
This verb allows any script to execute any Global Script by name.

===Usage:===
**execute script** (name of a global script)

===Optional Parameters:===
**in** (integer, creates a scheduled event that executes the script in this many seconds)\\
**at** (date, like the “in” parameter but takes an applescript date object at which time you’d like the script to run)\\
**handler** (text, the name of a handler in the script that you would like to run instead of the script as a whole)\\
**parameters** (list, if the handler specified requires parameters you can send them as a list of any applescript objects or values here)\\

===Examples:===

execute a script in 4 minutes
<code>
execute script “myScriptName” in 4 * minutes
</code>

execute a script a 4pm today
<code>
execute script “myScriptName” at date (“4:00pm”)
</code>

execute a handler in the script called “doSomethingClever” at 10pm tonight
<code>
execute script “myScriptName” handler “doSomethingClever” at date (“10:00pm”)
</code>

this would execute a handler in the global scrip that looked something like this:
<code>
on doSomethingClever()
  write log “I am doing something clever”
end doSomethingClever
</code>

pass some parameters to a handler to be run in 2 hours
<code>
execute script “myScriptName” handler “doSomethingClever” parameters {“param1”, “param2”, “param3”} in 2 * hours
</code>

this would execute a script and pass the parameter specified something like this:
<code>
on doSomethingClever( firstData, secondData, thirdData)
  write log “I was passed data “ & firstData & “ and “ & secondData & “ and “ & thirdData
end doSomethingClever
</code>
