I don't think there's any reasonable definition of "Scripting Language" that would include C. If you want to script something on *nix, you use sh, ksh, csh, bash, perl, ruby, etc., not C.
IMO, one aspect of a scripting language is that you don't need to wrap your executable code in anything magical, like a main() function. A scripting language should be able to take a single line with a single statement and execute it.
A question to you *nix-heads: Does a shell script have to have a #! line at the start, or is this just a nice-to-have to make sure the right shell executes it?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
