It looks like the first line to break sh2js is

me=`echo "$0" | sed -e 's,.*/,,'`

[nfischer]

Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. ShellJS doesn't have great sed support (it only implements the s/ mode). The most reasonable fix would be for the transpiler to detect this and to fallback to shell.exec('sed ...') for non-s/ commands.

PRs are welcome, but I probably won't get to fixing this myself for a while.

The transpiler is far from complete, so we can't actually handle a script as complex as the ones you've linked to.
