Fwd: Question

[Saint Michael]

Dear Maintainer

Is there a commercial or free software that can take a Bash script and
transparently turn it into a C executable, provided the machines where it
runs has any of the external commands like awk, etc?
Something like a Java virtual machine, for Shell.

I think this language is powerful and I want to distribute some tools that
contain critical information.

So far I have been googling and there is only obfuscation tools, not
compilation tools.

Yours
