I understand that you need to execute lines having unix script name i.e. *.sh. Will it hold true across the file?If yes, then good. Following will execute only those lines where 1st column ends with ".sh"
Code:
awk '$1 ~ /.*.sh$/' $1 | while read line; do
   echo "Running $line"
   eval $line
done

Yes, You may put batch file in form of XML. Put a proper tag name for command to run and script can read value inside that tag and execute that.

Gr8 thanks Anurag, but cud you plz show a small example with the below XML

Code:
<batchJob>
<name>myBatchjob</name>
<jobs>
<job>$BATCHDIR/execute_procedure.sh</job>
<job>$BATCHDIR/move.sh</job>
<job>$BATCHDIR/mail_text.sh</job>
</jobs>
</batchJob>

Let's say you make your XML job file as:
Code:
<batchJob>
<name>myBatchjob</name>
<jobs>
<job>
$BATCHDIR/move.sh "$DATAOUTDIR/GCMSSAS.txt" "$HISTDIR/GCMSSAS.txt$GCMS_DATETIMESTAMP"
</job>
<job>
$BATCHDIR/mail_text.sh $DATAOUTDIR 'GCMSSAS.txt' 'abhijit@xyz.com' "GCMS UAT - SAS Feed File"
</job>
<job>
$BATCHDIR/execute_procedure.sh prc_generate_sas_bk_feed "(p_success)"
</job>
</jobs>
</batchJob>

Then following should do the needful:
Code:
awk '/\<job\>/,/\<\/job\>/ if(substr($1,length($1)-2)==".sh") print}' $1 | while read line; do
   echo "Running $line"
   eval $line
done

Here only requirement is:
put your unix script command to be executed inside <job> and </job> as below
Code:
<job>
YOUR COMMAND
</job>
