e.g. smaple.c code
Code:
int main(void)
{
            system("/bin/bash -c runthis_script.sh");
}

Never tried it myself. A quick google for "unix ksh compiler" came up with this:

shcomp takes a ksh93 script and turns it into a binary format. man shcomp for further information.

This is not an executable but a means of obfuscating a shell script and speeding up its execution time. Basically, it parses a shell script and outputs the parse entities tree.
