I first tried a tomertbt shell script, but that did not have the desired power (no math functions in the bourne shell.) Tom suggested the use of Lua to perform a needed math function. After looking into Lua, I re-wrote my entire script in Lua and I am very happy with its capabilities. So cast my vote for Lua.
