It would be great if we could run the bot from command line and take arguments like OSBot forum user/pass, rs account user/pass, script to use and world to log in to. This would make it very easy to just run a cron on a server or few bat files. Might also be useful to have the bot run itself again when there is an update.

This would only work if scripts were set up in the same way though. Otherwise you'd only be able to start up the bot and nothing else.

Possibly arguments could be handed off to scripts in onStart(String... args)?

Can't you just pass in a script id to select which to run?  How do script ids change per setup?

Unless the script had no options/presets/etc, this wouldn't work. The script needs to know what to do which is why I proposed being able to pass arguments to the script start. So configuring each script would just be following which args do what and adding to a command.

Ah I was referring to scripts that didnt need arguments passed (because they store config locally). Yeah, guess your could pass an array of string args.

Most scripts have a GUI that require input before executing. I'm really interested in passing args through scripts first and then maybe later the bot itself.
