You should try to be more specific.

Should the file be generated:
   1) at CMake time
   2) at build time

Does the file depends on some previously generated other files?
What are the varying part of your generated files?
Should the generated file be executed after it has been generated?

Using CMake you may use FILE(WRITE
in order to write any text file, so basically YES you may generate a
shell script using CMake.

I do usually use a combination fo FILE(WRITE  and CONFIGURE_FILE
for my generated files, which are generated at CMake time and then
used at build time from custom command/target.
