You're kind-of right – it's just the command line call that normally
starts processing. (i.e. one uses lualatex filename.tex)
With the call
luatex --help
on the command line, LuaTeX prints all the command line arguments it
knows, e.g. the two shell-escape switches:
--[no-]shell-escape disable/enable \write18{SHELL COMMAND}
--shell-restricted restrict \write18 to a list of
commands given in texmf.cnf
But in this list I cannot find a switch that activates shell escape on a
file basis. Or do you mean the --shell-restricted?
cheers
