General Development If you don't want to commit to the idiosyncrasies of a specific shell running on a particular platform, try the Squirrel Shell. The Squirrel Shell provides an advanced, object-oriented scripting language that works equally well on UNIX, Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows systems. Write a script once, and run it anywhere.

Exactly. If I had to install a third party interpreter across a heterogeneous *nix and Windows environment, I'd just go with Python --or Perl if I really had to. If it were all *nix systems, I'd just stick with the holy trinity: sh, sed, awk.
