I’m sort of a *nix newbie but thumbing through “Unix in a Nutshell” there
don’t appear to be any ‘scripting languages’ in the Visual

many Unix apps that has been mentioned here before. But that raises the
question of will there ever be scriptable Unix apps, and if the answer is
yes, shouldn’t there be a single Ruby syntax for addressing them.
