You can send arbitrary Lua to Awesome to run by piping commands to
awesome-client, for example this selects the second tag on the first
screen with awesome 3.5:
echo 'local tag = require("awful.tag"); tag.viewonly(tags[1][2])' \
| awesome-client
Should be easy to do if you can leave all the switching to the
(shell?) script.
