The doc says that scripts can be executed with : geth --exec 'loadscript("script.js")' attach, but in the example script they give right after, they say to use geth js script.js 2>>geth.log.
What is the difference between the two ?

I believe those are two ways of doing the same thing. – Dec 01 '16 at 18:14

You can reference this document for most of your Geth command line needs.
--exec value Execute JavaScript statement (only in combination with console/attach)

Thank you ! Any ideas what the 2 in
2>>geth.logmeans ? I still have a lot of blur around javascript execution. How do I pass arguments (can I) ? How do I return values ? Why are a lot of commands of the js console not authorized in scripts, and which one are authorized exactly ? The only doc I managed to find around scripts explicitly is the very long example script, with no explanation at all. Do you know anywhere I could find more detailed help ? – Teleporting Goat Dec 01 '16 at 23:32
