A shell script should just work, more or less - provided it's written
for a shell you have installed on OS X (ie csh/tcsh/bash/ksh/zsh), and
files it interacts with are located where it expects to find them, etc.

Same goes for stuff written for the various text processors and
intrepreted/compiled-on-the-fly languages, eg perl, python, sed, awk,
etc. that are installed as standard.

Re-implementing in Applescript shouldn't be necessary.
