Thank you. This certainly sounds like a correct answer, but I'll wait to see an upvote or two before accepting it.

The comments were pretty unanimous that this would be a bad idea. So I'll take this as the answer.In the meantime, I found that the third party application dumps out the commands and executes them with sh -c. Provided the first "command" is a shebang line (#!/bin/ksh), this does work as intended. My previous test was just using sh, without the -c flag. Thanks, all.
