This two lines are working on the command line if executed consequently. But if i use it as a script and run it it doesn't work. And also it causes to run one of my on reboot script. Any ideas ?

:local abcd ([/ip firewall connection print count-only ])

:if ($abcd > 1000) do [/tool e-mail send to="gokalp@......." subject="too many connections" body=($abcd)]

"print" does not work in scripts.

Try this:

:local abcd [:len [/ip firewall connection find]]

would it be terribly hard to change this?
i would like running scripts as sort of macros. somewhat simpler than pasting or doing / import script.rsc

what can't scheduler et al pipe the script output to /dev/null so to speak and allow commandline to see the output?
is it because the script enterpreter is started as a standalone process?

That's because output from "print" could not be reliably parsed in all cases by the script interpreter.
There are "find" and "get" commands, which replace "print" in scripts.
