[Mono-list] Scripting the Linux OS with Mono

[Abe Gillespie]

Compiling into an exe, running it, and then deleting is an obvious
work around ... but I'd prefer a solution that takes a specifically
designed script and runs the script itself.  I could see this being
done in a separate host exe that expects a script adhering to a
specific contract.  So the command line would like something like:

mono script_host.exe MyScript.cs myarg1 myarg2

Where script_host might expect a certain interface to be implemented
in MyScript.cs.  Obviously the assemblies MyScript.cs references would
have to be supplied somehow to script_host ... but as flexible as Mono
/ .Net is it shouldn't be a problem.

Has anyone out there done something or started a project like this?
