Telling us to stop writing scripts is silly. There is "script hell" and then there is "architecture hell", when well-meaning environment designers deny you the ability to use something they think you don't need. Take away the shell and your users are forced to invent silly ways to hack it back in.

Control methods are always useful of course. What about existing, common workflow languages like make ? Much-abused, but at its core, uses very simple "destination:source" rules which I think can be used simply and effectively for lots of things.

NAME
sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--exec=script] server[:port] sieveshell --help DESCRIPTION
sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server. It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress. The following commands are recognized: list list scripts on server. put <filename> upload script to server. get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout delete <name> delete script. activate <name> activate script. deactivate deactivate all scripts. OPTIONS
-u user, --user=user The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials. -a authname, --authname=authname The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user). -r realm, --realm=realm The realm to attempt authentication in. -e script, --exec=script Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
