To avoid that i got into the way of storing all my scripts outside the „public_html“ folder. I created a folder in my home folder  where i store all my scripts. In the public_html and its subfolders i just place scripts with an one liner which uses the include command to include the scripts outside the publicly accessible folders. So in any case Livecode server is not running, the users just see the script with my include command. Nothing else.
