Well, I'll assume you mean TSM server scripts instead of shell scripts. Macros are really useful for multiple one time commands, like generating and executing multiple commands where you don't want to have to answer "Yes/No" for each command (move datas are a good example). Server scripts are more useful for more general scheduled tasks. Quite frankly, I have never used server scripts. If I have to do something complicated enough to use variable substitution and logic, I use cron'd shell or perl scripts for my management instead.
