Here are some screenshots :

This one shows what you can put inside Script (ZShell) instances. I find it very funny, and of course it works !!!

This screenshot of the Zope management interface shows what ZShellScripts can do.

There's a Shell (Python) instance, a Shell (Unix) instance, and a Shell (Zope) instance, which are different interpreters for different languages, respectively Python, Unix shell and Zope ZShell.

There are three instances of Script (ZShell), which have the very same meta_type, but which contents is completely different one from each other :

• The x.py object contains Python code, and its first line points to the python object. Launching it will execute this code as with normal Zope Script (Python) instances.
• The x.sh object contains Unix shell commands, which will be run as the user who runs Zope (usually zope, nobody or www-data).
• The x.zsh object contains Zope ZShell commands which ressembles Unix ones but work on the ZODB contents instead of on files on the filesystem.
