> Writing an UDF is absolutely required to pass a shell script some vars then?

Directly, yes. The basic reason is that MySQL is meant to be fully encapsulated from its OS (IOW this ain;t a Microsoft product). You can signal the OS indirectly without a custom UDF by executing SELECT...INTO OUTFILE... into a folder that the server OS monitors for certain files appearing or changing.
