I need a scripting engine for a SCADA application
I'm designing a SCADA application I will be using for home automation. It works over a LAN. The client will run on either a Windows or Linux box which has the DACs attached to it. Or it can run standalone using localhost. So I want the server app to be able to create one script that just checks the time of day against a list of time/actions and execute those actions if it time to (turn on hot tub 1 hour before I get home). Then one or more scripts that check for limits or alerts (turn off hot tub heater if temp > 100F). I want the main time of day polling scripts to run in parallel with the limits/alert scripts. I'm writing the app in C#. I want the user to be able to edit and execute the scripts without having to go to a DOS box and do a compile and run the script. I don't want to write my own scripting engine, yet I don't need all the OOP features that come with IronPython, CS-Script or Boo.

which works great, but what I need, I guess is for that script to run in a thread and send/receive messages to/from the client. But that code is running as 2 threads in my C# app.
