Can I send scripted commands to a grunt shell from a shell script?

Question

I'm using apache-pig for a project I'm working on. I have a script that moves some files around and then starts pig. Once pig starts it brings up a grunt shell. I was wondering if it is possible for the script to give the grunt shell commands like executing a pig script ( exec customer.pig ). Is this possible or do I just have to break it up into separate scripts?

Credit goes to glenn from the comments above. I just had to make a file, I called it commands and then when I run pig I just use pig < commands .
