Ok. But before .profile execution. I need to perform one function. In this case, it is not working fine.
Any permanent solution for this.

Note: Some time, user can run script by ./script

Or Any other alternative way is appreciable.

( My requirement is that Already i am executing one script. which is cover all the our rquirement ( lot of function are included in that script).But newly we would like to change umask value through that script. We have tried 2 way
1) Already umask values is present in .profile file. so we tried to execute that file in that script by . <.profile>
2) Just we added umask 0022 value in top of the script .

Both are not working. we are not achieved goal.

Please advice or suggest on this

Thanks,
Mani

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

dpatch

DPATCH(7)							      dpatch								 DPATCH(7)

NAME

       debian/patches/script.dpatch - self applying patch

SYNOPSIS

       debian/patches/script.dpatch -patch [directory]
       debian/patches/script.dpatch -unpatch [directory]
       debian/patches/script.dpatch -pkg-custom [directory]

DESCRIPTION

       A  dpatch is a program that modifies the source tree in a given directory. How it does that is entirely up to the person writing it. It can
       be a script that calls patch(1) with the appropriate options, a complicated perl script that does some deep magic, or  anything	else.  The
       only  requirement  is  that it MUST accept the -patch and -unpatch options, followed by the destination (or working) directory, when speci-
       fied. For the sake of compatibility, the second argument is only present when a working directory was explicitly set with dpatch --workdir.

       For some of the dpatch(1) features to work, the script should follow a common style: there should be a line near the top of the	file  with
       the  following  format: "filename -- author <email>". And one or more "# DP: description" lines. These will be used by dpatch cat for exam-
       ple.

WARNING

       dpatch is deprecated, please switch to the `3.0 (quilt)' Debian source package  format  instead.  See  http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/Deb-
       Src3.0#FAQ for a short guide on how to do it.

EXAMPLES

       One can find dpatch examples under /usr/share/doc/dpatch/examples/.
