+runscript <scriptname scriptname>
+------------------------------------------------
+
+**New in Django development version**
+
+Sometimes its very usefull to have simple scripts in applications which 
+will be called in django's context.
+The runscript command searches for subdirectories named ``scripts`` and 
+``fixtures`` if the --fixtures parameter is given.
+There are two types of simple script types supported:
+
+    * scripts in fixtures. 
+      These scripts are run when runscript
+      ``--fixtures`` option is set. The initial_data.py script is
+      executed after loaddata in syncdb
+    * scripts in scripts.
+      These are the default scripts which will be started with
+      runscript [scriptname]. These can be disabled with ``--noscripts``
+      parameter.
+      A good example is a script called daily_cleanup.py in every application
+      which has to do a daily cleanup.
+
+After import the run() method is executed. You should write::
+
+    def run(*args, **kwargs):
+    	dosomething()
+        ...
+
+<scriptname>
+scriptname can be relative or absolut
+
+	django-admin.py runscript somescript
+
+will walk trough all application scripts subdirectories and
+execute somescript.run()
+
+    django-admin.py runscript myapp.somescript
+
+will execute myapp.scripts.somescript.run()
+
+    django-admin.py runscript --fixtures --noscripts --verbosity=2 initial_data
+
+will call all initial_data scripts in fixtures subdirectories 
+of all applications, printing verbose output what the script does.
+This is is called by syncdb.
+
+**Please remember that directories containing scripts also need a __init__.py**
+
+--fixtures
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Looks in the fixtures subdirectory.
+
+--noscripts
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Don't look in scripts subdirectory for a match.
+
+--verbosity
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Use ``--verbosity`` to specify the amount of notification and debug information
+that ``django-admin.py`` should print to the console.
+
+	* ``0`` means no input.
+	* ``1`` means normal input (default).
+	* ``2`` means verbose input.
+
+Example usage::
+
+    django-admin.py runscript --verbosity=2 initial_data
+
+
+
 runserver [optional port number, or ipaddr:port]
