Xwang, Actually, you can script BRL-CAD via MGED is pretty much any language you want. There is an example on the website that shows the various ways MGED can be invoked at http://brlcad.org/wiki/SGI_Cube as well as an example Tcl script at the end of the MGED Quick Reference card: http://brlcad.org/wiki/Documentation
While it is possible to invoke bash scripts from within MGED, that sounds like the wrong way to go about doing things. You would invoke a bash script from *outside* of MGED and have the script call MGED as needed. That said, since your goal is to create an ars primitive, what you'll probably want to invoke "mged -c whatever.g in myars ars ....." to create the ars, as you suggested, within the script. Cheers!
