Is it possible make the shell read functions 1 by 1 and calling an other function?

Greetings,

I m wondering if it's possible do do the following :

I have a simple function called "FindMoveDelete" which does the following :

Code:
FindMoveDelete()
{
find . -iname "$FILENAME*.ext" -exec mv {} "$PATH/$VAR" \; &&
find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -iname "$FILENAME*" -exec rm -rf {} \;
}

So basicly it moves the variable "$FILENAME*.ext" to "$PATH/$VAR" and if the move succeeds, deletes the previous of said file directory. (which is basicly the same name)

Now, that's working but what I want to do next is load a configuration file containing a long list of functions. Each functions declaring new variables for $FILENAME $PATH and $VAR as follow :

Code:
Function1()
{
FILENAME=function1
PATH="/volume1/my/path/"
VAR=myvar
}

That way when I want to modify or add new functions I simply have to edit my configuration file with all the functions...

Only problem is : How do I make the shell read function 1 then apply the MoveAndDelete then read function 2, apply MoveAndDelete.

I guess i could call the MoveAndDelete function within each function like so :
Code:
Function1()
{
FILENAME=function1
PATH="/volume1/my/path/"
VAR=myvar
MoveAndDelete
}

But it looks ugly Smilie


Thanks for taking the time to read

AA-EASYPROF(8)							     AppArmor							    AA-EASYPROF(8)

NAME
aa-easyprof - AppArmor profile generation made easy. SYNOPSIS
aa-easyprof [option] <path to binary> DESCRIPTION
aa-easyprof provides an easy to use interface for AppArmor policy generation. aa-easyprof supports the use of templates and policy groups to quickly profile an application. Please note that while this tool can help with policy generation, its utility is dependent on the quality of the templates, policy groups and abstractions used. Also, this tool may create policy which is less restricted than creating policy by hand or with aa-genprof and aa-logprof. OPTIONS
aa-easyprof accepts the following arguments: -t TEMPLATE, --template=TEMPLATE Specify which template to use. May specify either a system template from /usr/share/apparmor/easyprof/templates or a filename for the template to use. If not specified, use /usr/share/apparmor/easyprof/templates/default. -p POLICYGROUPS, --policy-groups=POLICYGROUPS Specify POLICY as a comma-separated list of policy groups. See --list-templates for supported policy groups. The available policy groups are in /usr/share/apparmor/easyprof/policy. Policy groups are simply groupings of AppArmor rules or policies. They are similar to AppArmor abstractions, but usually encompass more policy rules. -a ABSTRACTIONS, --abstractions=ABSTRACTIONS Specify ABSTRACTIONS as a comma-separated list of AppArmor abstractions. It is usually recommended you use policy groups instead, but this is provided as a convenience. AppArmor abstractions are located in /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions. See apparmor.d(5) for details. -r PATH, --read-path=PATH Specify a PATH to allow owner reads. May be specified multiple times. If the PATH ends in a '/', then PATH is treated as a directory and reads are allowed to all files under this directory. Can optionally use '/*' at the end of the PATH to only allow reads to files directly in PATH. -w PATH, --write-dir=PATH Like --read-path but also allow owner writes in additions to reads. -n NAME, --name=NAME Specify NAME of policy. If not specified, NAME is set to the name of the binary. The NAME of the policy is often used as part of the path in the various templates. --template-var="@{VAR}=VALUE" Set VAR to VALUE in the resulting policy. This typically only makes sense if the specified template uses this value. May be specified multiple times. --list-templates List available templates. --show-template=TEMPLATE Display template specified with --template. --templates-dir=PATH Use PATH instead of system templates directory. --list-policy-groups List available policy groups. --show-policy-group Display policy groups specified with --policy. --policy-groups-dir=PATH Use PATH instead of system policy-groups directory. --author Specify author of the policy. --copyright Specify copyright of the policy. --comment Specify comment for the policy. EXAMPLE
Example usage for a program named 'foo' which is installed in /opt/foo: $ aa-easyprof --template=user-application --template-var="@{APPNAME}=foo" --policy-groups=opt-application,user-application /opt/foo/bin/FooApp BUGS
