Gateway vs Client Scripts

Your project can execute scripts under two different scopes: Gateway and Client.

Gateway scripts execute on the Ignition Gateway, which means that they will always execute in exactly one place.

Client scripts execute on each running Client. Because Clients are full-fledged applications, this means that the scripts are running on the computer running the client, not on the Gateway's host server computer. This means that they don't have access to the Gateway's filesystem, etc. It also means that if no clients are launched, the scripts will not be executing.
