jsexec is a command-line program included with Synchronet that runs JS scripts t
hat use Synchronet's API, but they have to be written to work with the command l
ine (not with a remote connected user). JS doors that interact with a remote co
nnected user don't use jsexec, but rather are run by Synchronet itself when a us
er is logged in.

Yes:

When I'm writing a JS door for an online user, I just log into my BBS (as anothe
r user would do) to test it.
As mentioned above, you can run JS scripts from a Linux tty with jsexec, but the
y'd have to be written a little differently to output to the tty rather than a r
emote user logged into the BBS.
