I'm figuring if I'd be possible for someone like me with barely any java experience to build a listening server which executes tasks it gets via the client.

This can either be via a bot which can stop, pause and start other scripts.
Or via a standalone server which can control spectre by pausing or stopping a script. It wouldn't need bot level acces.

I'm not sure if it's allowed on public scripts yet, the easiest method would be long polling. Start there.

Not looking to use a script for it unless there is an api to manage this. Can one script start/configure (using parameters or a file) or stop another script?

You would initiate long-polling from your script that you develop. It would have to be an integrated feature of the script.
 
If you're asking about functionality that is deployed with Spectre, this is not available at the moment as far as I am aware.
