Creating a Continuous File Reading-Executing Shell Script
I need to write something that will read and execute all the files(Mainly executable scripts) inside one or more folders; in other words, a continuous chain with a break when finished. I'm new to shell and need syntax help. I'm on Ubuntu 12.10-Gnome btw.
Here are some main highlights I think should be included;
-The program should ask for one or more directories. Should process all the files given in these directories,
-Should create a .txt file on which files and folders are read and executed(for correction and informational purposes),
-Could contain a break option like control+shift+c maybe but thats clearly not of utmost importance.
The code, or the guidance to the code would be very much appreciated. Thx alot.

dh_fixperms
DH_FIXPERMS(1) Debhelper DH_FIXPERMS(1)
NAME
dh_fixperms - fix permissions of files in package build directories
SYNOPSIS
dh_fixperms [debhelperoptions] [-Xitem]
DESCRIPTION
dh_fixperms is a debhelper program that is responsible for setting the permissions of files and directories in package build directories to
a sane state -- a state that complies with Debian policy.
dh_fixperms makes all files in usr/share/doc in the package build directory (excluding files in the examples/ directory) be mode 644. It
also changes the permissions of all man pages to mode 644. It removes group and other write permission from all files. It removes execute
permissions from any libraries, headers, Perl modules, or desktop files that have it set. It makes all files in the standard bin and sbin
directories, usr/games/ and etc/init.d executable (since v4). Finally, it removes the setuid and setgid bits from all files in the package.
When the Rules-Requires-Root field has the (effective) value of binary-targets, dh_fixperms will also reset the ownership of all paths to
"root:root".
OPTIONS
-Xitem, --exclude item
Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from having their permissions changed. You may use this option multiple
times to build up a list of things to exclude.
SEE ALSO
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
