Update file from a given wrapper
Hello Friends,
I am trying to generate a status file which will be updated when users run a given shell wrapper.
Above is pretty straight forward.
Since the program is open to all users, the status file should have open access for all.
That has the inherent loop hole of anybody modifying it externally as well.
Looking to restrict the status file to get updates when run only from the given program.
All options welcome.
Thanks in advance.

uscan-components
USCAN-COMPONENTS(1p) User Contributed Perl Documentation USCAN-COMPONENTS(1p)
NAME
uscan-components - wrapper around uscan for package and components
SYNOPSIS
uscan-components [options]
DESCRIPTION
"uscan-components" is a wrapper around "uscan" for packages using "dh_components". Firstly it will check that both the package and all the
components have watch files; and will return an error if they do not. Then it will run uscan on the main watch file. If that downloads
something it will run uscan on each of the components. It accepts a number of uscan options all of which are passed onto to each invocation
of uscan.
OPTIONS
--upgrade
--no-upgrade
By default the current versions of the various components will be downloaded. This resolves into --force-download and either
--download-current-version or --upstream-version for the main and component tarballs respectively. The current versions of the
components are stored in the files: "debian/components/"comp"/version". If the --upgrade option is applied then instead the latest
version will be requested and the version files updated accordingly.
--dry-run
If set no actual uscan will not actually be called but those that might be will be listed.
--help
Prints a brief help message and exits.
--man
Prints the manual page and exits.
--verbose
--no-verbose
These options simulate the verbosity flag being passed to "uscan". The actual invocations must always be verbose as the information is
required to correctly rename the component files. However the output is not passed back to the user if verbosity is turned off.
--report
--report-status
--pasv
--no-pasv
--timeout
--debug
--user-agent, --useragent
All of the these arguments are passed straight to each uscan invocation.
FILES
For each component the watch file is assumed to be in "debian/components/"component"/watch" and the component version is maintained in
"debian/components/"component"/version".
