Just ignore this if it's too far out of line with what you are
wanting, but since you seem to want more control than than those tools
provide and we're in the Ada group ...

Have you considered something like BUSH? It's at:

http://www.pegasoft.ca/bush.html

BUsiness SHell (BUSH) ... "The Business Shell is different.  It's
based on a language called AdaScript TM, a subset of one of the most
powerful languages available" ...[Ada 95]

"BUSH is an all-in-one replacement for BASH, PHP, J2EE, Ruby, Python,
Perl and PSQL."

Not affiliated with Pegasoft or BUSH, but have always liked the idea
of an Ada based shell scripting language for Ada people.
