No recognition needed if you're explicit: you can pass the name of the 
.lc page to the Server engine as a param, e.g.:

    ./livecode-server mycoolscript.lc


And there's also a second way:

make the .lc script executable, and let the shell know what engine is 
needed to run it with a shebang on the top line:

    #!/usr/local/bin/livecode-server

More on that from David Williams in the LC blog:
