php web hosting is more widely available and less expensive typically than Java. While this can all be done with open source software I beleieve we will continue to see the corporate world using Java and individuals increasingly using php.
SHELL Scripts are used by webmasters for exactly the purposes you have mentioned. Mostly for managing files particuliarly logs, starting and stoping servers, jvm's, creating backups etc. Not for web users... I can't imagine anyone is suggesting that Shell scripts be be granted execute permission on a web server... I hope.
