I'm not sure we should be closing these questions outright, much less have a specific close reason for them.

At the end of the day, people are unhappy about how they are phrased. These questions can be trivially rewritten from "Give me a script to X" to "How can I do (automate) X", and answers can choose to write scripts if they wish to do so, or provide alternative answers.

Where possible, prefer editing questions to make them more suitable over closing them.

We could "put on hold" and ask the user to edit, but... hey, why not lead by example? If a user ignores the hint and continues to phrase questions badly, then further action can be taken.
