A way to create command line program with Air 2?

Is there any way to create an Air 2 program that runs just in the command line? (no windows, no gui, etc)

Something similar to Windows Ping program. It would accept arguments and then output std out.

A: 

You might want to check out CommandProxy as a possible solution.

Which part of CommandProxy should I be looking at? As far as I can tell, AIR 2 beta antiquates CommandProxy.

A: 

No, AIR is not really meant for creating command-line applications - it's just not the right tool for the job.

You would be better off looking at implementing your application in Java, C#/VB.NET, Python or Groovy (and innumerable other more suitable languages).

If you really have your heart set on Actionscript/Javascript-style syntax then you should look into Haxe.
