Unless you are bound by distribution constraints, I strongly recommend
Python (Perl is supposed to be almost as good) rather than shell
scripting. For power, portability, extensability, etc. these scripting
languages have great advantages over shell interpreters. The one
drawback is that you must have the Python or Perl interpreter in-place
for this to work.
