Now if I want a button to update the imdb ratings etc. then this:

Code:

RunScript(special://profile/shell.py,./texturecache.py, imdb movies |special://profile/texturecache.py set)

Should work?

No, you'll need to write a simple script, /storage/.kodi/userdata/imdb.sh, that encapsulates all that pipeline activity:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
/storage/.kodi/userdata/texturecache.py imdb movies | /storage/.kodi/userdata/texturecache.py set

don't forget to give it execute permission:

Code:

chmod +x /storage/.kodi/userdata/imdb.sh

then call imdb.sh via shell.py:

Code:

RunScript(special://profile/shell.py,./imdb.sh)

There's only so much you can do with RunScript() - it's not a general purpose command line substitute.
