hi,

i've been using rhino to run javascript scripts..

what can i do if someone starts a script like 
"while(1) {}"
?

is there a way to stop it's execution?


for now i am running the scripts in a different thread,
and ignore it after a given timeout,
so it will not block the execution of the whole program,
but that's all i can do..that thread will still run

is there anything to stop a script from a different thread?

or to execute it with a timeout value?

thanks,
gabor
