A shell script is simply a text file starting with #!, and made executable
by setting the x bit (eg. chmod a+x myscript.sh)

eg.

#!
ardour mysession
otherprogram /path/to/saved/file

Last time I look though I couldn't find a way to pass a saved file to AMS,
thats was a while ago, and someonme might have fixed it since then.

LASH (née LADCCA) is probably a better longtem solution to this problem
(http://lash-audio-session-handler.org/), but not many apps support it
yet.
