Only Windows, but I know that it would be easier to run automated scripts on Linux. Gandalf Parker and his random maps are quite an example in that part...
Actually, we are in an age where triple-platform "scripting" tools (Mac/Win/Linux) are powerful and easily available. Many of them are free and/or open source.

My favorite is Python. Others include Java, REALBasic, and C#/Mono. With the cygwin Unix environment for Windows, one can add all the other usual favorites: Perl, Ruby, shell scripts, Tcl, PHP, and who knows how many others.

Not all those are "scripting" per se, but all could be used for writing and running small programs of this kind on all 3 platforms.
