Introduction

kiwi/Script Language is a versatile & extensible Object Orientated Scripting Language that provides the Messaging Server with a Common Script Language. This provides the Programmer/System Administrator with a simple and consistent Interface to the Messaging Objects and Services available. Like all [Object Orientated] Programming Languages it comprises of a Core set of Object types, Expression Operators, Control Structures, and Statements. This can also be extended by supplementing it with new Object types & Statements at runtime.

For example, the kiwi/Web Server extends the core Script Language by providing you with a new Object type called '_Session'. This Object type is specific to serving Web Pages; and as such it carries no meaning in the Mail Server. It is therefore unavailable when a script is called from that process. Currently the kiwi/Script Language comprises of a Core set of Objects & Statements that are available System wide, and is then further extended with two Extensions that are only made available by the invoking Server processes.

These are listed below:

• Core Statements & Objects (System-Wide)
• Mail Server Extension
• Web Server Extension

Expression Operators

Operator        Meaning
=               Variable Assignment
+=              Add RHS to variable
-=              Subtract RHS from variable
%=              Modulus variable by RHS
*=              Multiply variable by RHS
/=              Divide variable by RHS
|=              Binary 'OR' RHS to variable
&=              Binary 'AND' RHS to variable 
^=              Binary 'XOR' RHS to variable
<<=             Binary Shift contents of variable 
                  to the left by RHS times
>>=             Binary Shift contents of variable 
                  to the right by RHS times

Operator        Meaning
==              Equals 
>               Greater Than 
<               Less Than
>=              Greater Than or Equal to
<=              Less Than or Equal to

Operator        Meaning
|               OR
&               AND
^               XOR
>>              Shift contents of variable 
                  to the left  
<<              Shift contents of variable 
                  to the right  
!               NOT

Operator        Meaning
++              Increment variable
--              Decrement variable

Operator        Meaning
||              OR
&&              AND 
?:              Conditional ie. x==true ? yes : no

Operator        Meaning
+               Add
-               Subtract
/               Divide
*               Multiply
%               Modulus

Statements

kiwi/Script includes a comprehensive list of statements and functions that you may use to:

• Automate any number of administrative tasks
• Create your own rich & dynamic Web/Message based server applications.
• Programmatically manage Account Message Stores.
• Programmatically create & send electronic messages (E-Mail).
• Integrate with 3rd party applications.
