AVAT-IN is a timed event, so it'll "fire" (executed) based on its configured interval.

I don't recall avatars.js being designed to run via jsexec. Although it might, that's not really the intention - you run it as a timed event. If you want to force the timed event to run on demand or modify the command-line that runs as an event, you can do that too.

That may or may not have anything to do with the errors you're seeing, I'm not sure.
