telnet = nothing more than a shell prompt

	$ /path/to/script

should start it running; many (most?) scripts specify their interpretter
in the first line via "#!/bin/bash" or similar.

Testing from a shell prompt is fine, unless you have a PHP script and lack
the CGI version of PHP.

Note also that some scripts expect certain environment variables to be set
by Apache, so you may need to do this manually.
