Hard because there's a tremendous amount of conditional queries
and text handling you want to do.  In addition, your Linux commands 
won't always behave the same from one LEAF version to the next as 
people use different ps, sed, cat, etc.  People like perl for
intensive text handling, and though it's available, most people 
won't run it on their router.  You can see that Charles has made
quite a few scripts to handle his own files (walking a list, etc)

Start small.  There's nothing wrong with learning how
to shell script.  Btw, David has mentioned a few times 
that his menu configuration system is almost done.
You can use his dialog.lrp to make menus.  And
there's Xdialog I think to for remote usage.

Best,
Matthew
