Thank you but I still did not understand how it takes up all files in the scripts directory. I will run this script in a directory where there are scripts files and I want to generate one single scripts files which generates back the scripts file into another directory but with certain parameter and file name different.

say the original directory has 6 scripts file named as

create_aaaaa
start_aaaaa
sopt_aaaaa

start_rc_aaaaa
stop_rc_aaaaa

also there are certain commands in the above files and other files whose name can be the same use aaaaa as a parameters. So, my need is create a sngle file as

echo " start_$1" >create_$1
echo " dis chl(q1.q2)" | runmqsc QM1 >>create_$1

The script file I am plannign to create has to create this single script file i explained above. It read files, add echo " takes line" > filename, if there is the parameter to change, it changes if not direct to the orignal file name

as >stoplsr
I mean this file name remains same in new directory too.

The single script file contans all the commands of all scripts files in the original script directory but paratemter changed. When I run this single script file inot new directory. similar set of files are created in the new directory but with part of file name different and some parameter name dirrerent inside some file name.

This script file has to take min 5 parameters to 10. Can these be put into a file and read as an input.

I maen, lets say out scrit to generate a single script file from a group of scripts file is generator. It has to take a file an an input where there are parameter

generator <inputfile

this generator, picks up all the scripts file one by one and generates a script file as

echo " command line, " > file name( may be start_$1)

the first part start_ is taken from the read file.

thanks

dh_installdebconf

DH_INSTALLDEBCONF(1)						     Debhelper						      DH_INSTALLDEBCONF(1)

NAME

       dh_installdebconf - install files used by debconf in package build directories

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installdebconf [debhelperoptions] [-n] [--params]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installdebconf is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing files used by debconf into package build directories.

       It also automatically generates the postrm commands needed to interface with debconf. The commands are added to the maintainer scripts by
       dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of how that works.

       Note that if you use debconf, your package probably needs to depend on it (it will be added to ${misc:Depends} by this program).

       Note that for your config script to be called by dpkg, your postinst needs to source debconf's confmodule. dh_installdebconf does not
       install this statement into the postinst automatically as it is too hard to do it right.

FILES

       debian/package.config
	   This is the debconf config script, and is installed into the DEBIAN directory in the package build directory.

	   Inside the script, the token #DEBHELPER# is replaced with shell script snippets generated by other debhelper commands.

       debian/package.templates
	   This is the debconf templates file, and is installed into the DEBIAN directory in the package build directory.

       debian/po/
	   If this directory is present, this program will automatically use po2debconf(1) to generate merged templates files that include the
	   translations from there.

	   For this to work, your package should build-depend on po-debconf.

OPTIONS

       -n, --no-scripts
	   Do not modify postrm script.

       -- params
	   Pass the params to po2debconf.
