Gentlemen,

I'm a able and willing tester for this. IMHO, we can give scsh its last rites, which is a shame because a lisp based system administration language is a great idea.

Is there anything we can start with as far as the Guile port goes?

RIP scsh.

That's why I'm trying to use Guile instead. You do have to put some
ugly magic at the top of the script, but then it gives you nice
backtraces with the location of the error.
