Ok, I think I have found this one myself, this seems to work:

uses
  IDEExternToolIntf;


begin
  ...
  Tool := TIDEExternalToolOptions.Create;
  Tool.Filename := '/bin/sh';
  Tool.CmdLineParams := 'DEBUILD.sh';
  Tool.WorkingDirectory := Settings.GetProjectDir;
  Tool.ShowAllOutput := True;
  RunExternalTool(Tool);
  Tool.Free;


My other question (the other thread) regarding the version info is still open.
