I'm trying to keep it simple. I chose sfdisk because it can be fully
controlled from the command line and a configuration file, no need to walk
you through, with instructions like "Press 'P' and hit 'ENTER'. Now you
should see ...."

That's one way. If you do it that way, you will have to make it executable
first, like this:
# vi script
.... edit as described
# chmod +x script
# ./script
Alternatively, you can just run the script with sh, like this:
# sh script
