As a stop-gap, you might want to install regina-rexx .  That'll at
least give you time to convert your scripts to something else.  I've
never used REXX, but perusing the syntax on Wikipedia, it looks like
you should be able to convert a lot of it to bash "easily" once you've
familiarized yourself with the syntax.

And since you asked, I like python, but a working knowledge of bash is
indispensible.
