I have written Lush, a pure Lua module that provides functions for
writing shell-script style programs in Lua rather than in POSIX-shell
or Bash.

Lush is here:
https://github.com/parke/lush

The primary features of Lush are:

- automatic shell-style string and variable expansion

- the lush.sh() function for creating and interacting with
  subprocesses

- convenience wrappers around the sh() function

If anyone feels tempted by the idea of writing shell-scripts in Lua,
please consider trying Lush.
