Okay, if you check this <https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/14979/access-to-the-elisp-commands-behind-eshell-commands/14981#14981> you'll see the answer I was after. With eshell you can "stay within" emacs to do system/command line stuff. Now, with the elisp code behind eshell I can stay within org-mode within emacs for system stuff. Sure, I could put sh in blocks, but stepping up into scripting seems like a good practice to develop.
