As for the use of export command, I still do not understand. I never used it before and I could not understand what the man actually says. I usually use setenv directly from the shell, but in scripts I was told here that I should use export to be able to call my executable on the next line... The problem is that export is not updating to the new values at every iteration of the loop (the value of $DIR is changing, I checked by echoing the whole export line, so that means the problem is in the way export behaves). The executable is called again and again with the very first value $DIR which is the only thing that changes in my QUERY_STRING. What am I doing wrong?

DESCRIPTION

       grub-mkrescue can be used to generate a rescue image with the GRUB bootloader.

OPTIONS

       --output=FILE
	      Write the generated file to FILE.  The default is to write to standard output.

       --modules=MODULES
	      Pre-load modules specified by MODULES.

       --install-modules=MODULES
	      Install only MODULES and their dependencies.  The default is to install all available modules.

       --themes=THEMES
	      Install THEMES.  The default is to install the starfield theme, if available.

       --fonts=FONTS
	      Install FONTS.  The default is to install the unicode font.

       --locales=LOCALES
	      Install only locales listed in LOCALES.  The default is to install all available locales.

       --compress[=no,xz,gz,lzo]
	      Compress GRUB files using the specified compression algorithm.

       --directory=DIR
	      Use images and modules in DIR.

       --grub-mkimage=FILE
	      Use FILE as grub-mkimage(1).  The default is /usr/bin/grub-mkimage.

       --rom-directory=DIR
