I only find the following .cnf files:
    ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/web2c/context.cnf
    ConTeXt/tex/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf

Both do not contain shell_escape_commands.

They have:
    shell_escape            = t
    %openout_any            = a
    openout_any             = p
    openin_any              = a
    parse_first_line        = f
    allow_multiple_suffixes = f

Do I need to make a texlive.cnf file?
