Processing multiple files

Hello

I have a program cfxfrwb which is designed to remove headers from reports files.
The cfxfrwb is located in the following directory /u01/efin/v40/live/bin

I run the program against a single report file in the temp directory and it does it's job.
Code:
./cfxfrwb /home/efin/efintran/temp/cli_r02r0051.prt

I'd like to run the ./cfxfrwb against several report files.

I modified a script I found on the web but it doesn't seem to work
Code:
#!/bin/bash
FILES=/home/efin/efintran/temp/*
for f in $FILES
do cfxfrwb
  echo "Processing $f file..."
  # take action on each file. $f store current file name
  cat $f
done

I'd be grateful if someone could offer some assistance.

Many thanks

smrsh(1M)						  System Administration Commands						 smrsh(1M)

NAME
smrsh - restricted shell for sendmail SYNOPSIS
smrsh -c command DESCRIPTION
The smrsh program is intended as a replacement for the sh command in the prog mailer in sendmail(1M) configuration files. The smrsh program sharply limits commands that can be run using the |program syntax of sendmail. This improves overall system security. smrsh limits the set of programs that a programmer can execute, even if sendmail runs a program without going through an alias or forward file. Briefly, smrsh limits programs to be in the directory /var/adm/sm.bin, allowing system administrators to choose the set of acceptable com- mands. It also rejects any commands with the characters: ,, <, >, |, ;, &, $, (<RETURN>), or (<NEWLINE>) on the command line to pre- vent end run attacks. Initial pathnames on programs are stripped, so forwarding to /usr/ucb/vacation, /usr/bin/vacation, /home/server/mydir/bin/vacation, and vacation all actually forward to/var/adm/sm.bin/vacation. System administrators should be conservative about populating /var/adm/sm.bin. Reasonable additions are utilities such as vacation(1) and procmail. Never include any shell or shell-like program (for example, perl) in the sm.bin directory. This does not restrict the use of shell or perl scrips in the sm.bin directory (using the #! syntax); it simply disallows the execution of arbitrary programs. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -c command Where command is a valid command, executes command. FILES
/var/adm/sm.bin directory for restricted programs ATTRIBUTES
