You don't need any OSAXen to get to the shell, there is already a command in the OS called something like "do shell  script".  Just open the Finder with Script Editor and look at the dictionary.

Also,because its an AppleEvent you don't need AppleScript either, you can just do something like this:

SendAppleEvent(_"misc",_"dosc","MACS","whatever shell commands here"..)

I cannot remeber the exact event codes, but it should get you started.

This brings me to my third point of interest.  OSADoScript leaks memory in OSX and carbon and every OS it has ever been in. ( Maybe it has been fixedin 10.1.5?)

I would recommend against using AppleScript for anything over and over, as the memory loss will build up.
