I do not claim that it shouldn't be possible to run shell scripts in GRASS7. Most of the restrictions in our lives are bad at the end;-) Anyway I highly suggest to write new scripts in Python, see [1]. Probably it's personal point of view, but writing shell scripts was always pain for me and I can hardly imagine person (without previous scripting experience) who prefers to learn how to write shell scripts rather then to learn Python. Python is quite easy language to learn for newcomers. Shell scripts are simply not good choice for writing sometimes quite complicated GRASS scripts.
