Yes i tested the -e option aber it doesnt work too.

Is this code line not a comment ? Is this code line required that the scripts run ?

Code:
#!/bin/sh

I didn't wrote this line in the subscript. Now it executes the subscript correctly.



"echo test" and the "subscript" gets executet at the same time
"echo test" should not get executet because of "read" the terminal window of the subscript stays open:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# mainscript
 x-terminal-emulator -e ./abc.sh
echo "test"

Code:
#!/bin/bash
# subscript
echo "ABC"
echo "EFG"
read

Thanks for the Help.

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

pg_buildext

PG_BUILDEXT(1)						 Debian PostgreSQL infrastructure					    PG_BUILDEXT(1)

NAME

       pg_buildext - Build and install a PostgreSQL extension

SYNOPSIS

       pg_buildext action srcdir target opts

DESCRIPTION

       pg_buildext is a script that will build a PostgreSQL extension in a VPATH way. It supports the configure, build, install, and clean
       actions, and will choose to build for the intersection of versions known in debian/pgversions (versions supported by the package) and in
       /usr/share/postgresql-common/supported-versions (versions supported in this release).

OPTIONS

       action
	   One of configure, build, install, or clean.

       srcdir
	   Where to find the extension sources, including the debian subdirectory.  (Usually $(CURDIR).) If not specified, defaults to the current
	   directory.

       target
	   The target directory where to build the sources, it will get created for you if it does not exist. If the target contains a %v sign, it
	   will get replaced by the specific version of PostgreSQL being built against.  (Usually build-%v.)

       opts
	   %v signs in opts will get replaced as in target.

	   configure
	       Options to pass to the configure script. (Most PostgreSQL extensions do not have a configure script.)

	   build
	       Custom CFLAGS options to use for the build.

	   install
	       Package name to install for. Make will be called with DESTDIR="srcdir/debian/package".

	   clean
	       clean does not take extra options.

USAGE

       As pg_buildext invokes make for the build, install, and clean actions, invocations from debian/rules (which is a makefile) should be
       prefixed with + so the sub-makes can talk with the make jobserver.

EXAMPLE

	 build-stamp:
		 +pg_buildext configure $(CURDIR) build-%v "--libdir=/usr/lib/postgresql/%v/lib --datadir=/usr/share/postgresql-%v-plsh"
		 +pg_buildext build $(CURDIR) build-%v

	 install: build
		 +pg_buildext install $(CURDIR) build-%v postgresql-%v-plsh

	 clean:
		 +pg_buildext clean $(CURDIR) build-%v
