I need to write utility scripts for client sites that do not allow the
installation of C based interpreters like Perl, Python, Tcl, etc on
DB2 servers. My scripts must be cross plarform so no shell. The
option seems to be a java based implementation of an existing
scripting language such as Jython/Jacl/JRuby or Groovy used with the
JVM runtime supplied with DB2.
I heard that IBM are standardising on Python for their preferred
scripting language so maybe Jython is the best option.
What do people think?
