Answer 1

Take a look to the "shell for every row" directory in the samples/jobs directory of your Pentaho installation. The keys to make it work, is in the transformation you use the "Copy rows to results" step, and in the job, when adding the "Shell" job entry, you check the "Copy previous results to args?" and the "Execute for every input row"
