A shell script is a series of commands that you would normally execute
on the command line, such as through the Terminal application. You can
run a single shell command or a series of them through AppleScipt by
using the "do shell script" command. For example:
do shell script "echo 'hello'"
will return the string:
"hello"
Shell commands and scripts are very powerful and shouldn't be used
lightly as they often have very few protections against you doing
serious damage to your data and your operating system. I would
recommend searching on the internet and going to your book store to get
some information on how to shell script.
