will execute the newly-specified script. The purpose of this function is to
execute a new script without being constrained by the RAM usage of the
current one. This function can only be used to run scripts on the local
server.

Example:
spawn('foo.script', 10, 'foodnstuff', 90);
.. code-block:: javascript
spawn('foo.script', 10, 'foodnstuff', 90); // "run foo.script 10 foodnstuff 90" in 10 seconds.
