Apparatus and method are provided for accomplishing on-line replacement of a script running in a process. The apparatus and method utilize a script registry that keeps track of the most current script for a particular service. The request for service is presented to the script registry to identify the location of the most current script that provides the requested service. Because this script registry is an internal data structure, it is therefore lightly portable between different operating system machine types. A superscript is further utilized to transfer script state information between execution of the service-providing scripts. This ensures that data information (i.e., execution mode, environment information, and variable data) is passed from a terminating service script to an initializing service script.
