| Shell scripts can execute any installed scripting language, such as perl, python, ruby or whatever. Be aware that because shell scripts are executed in a non-interactive shell, typically none of the shell configuration files (like CODE{{{.login}}} or CODE{{{.profile}}}) will be executed, which may change the way the shell script behaves. | Shell scripts can execute any installed scripting language, such as perl, python, ruby or whatever.
