Multi-copying a file

Hello there,

I am writting a scrip with in shell (#!/bin/sh) and I need to copy 5 times the same file into different names:

Code:

 
cp xsec.1.11 xsec.1.12
cp xsec.1.11 xsec.1.13
cp xsec.1.11 xsec.1.14
cp xsec.1.11 xsec.1.15
cp xsec.1.11 xsec.1.16

and I have to do that for several file. That takes a lot a place in my script...so I was wondering if there is a way to copy a file in multiple places wit ha single command?

Thanks for your help.
