 @cindex scripts
 Apart from reading the server and host configuration files,
 tinc can also run scripts at certain moments.
-Under Windows (not Cygwin), the scripts should have the extension .bat.
+Below is a list of filenames of scripts and a description of when they are run.
+A script is only run if it exists and if it is executable.
+
+Scripts are run synchronously;
+this means that tinc will temporarily stop processing packets until the called script finishes executing.
+This guarantees that scripts will execute in the exact same order as the events that trigger them.
+If you need to run commands asynchronously, you have to ensure yourself that they are being run in the background.
