VB6 EXEs are real EXEs as far as the shell, etc. are concerned so you
should be fine doing that as long as you can parse the arguments
(which is very doable, I think I did it once a long time ago). The
exit codes shouldn't be a problem either - only issue you might have
is tapping into stderr instead of stdout.

I think you'd have to run your server in a cygwin environment which
understands that those scripts are executables. On Windows, bash
scripts require an interpreter just like WSH scripts - plus, from what
I recall reading the source, the libraries don't look for the .sh
extension on Windows.
