Why don't you write down one for all of us and post here?

Flow should be:
  • Run "ls" in directory
  • Prepare list of directories in a text file.
  • Set a loop to go through all the lines in test file (that is each directory); do cd; run cgi script.

If you are facing issue at any point, we are here to assist.

Thanks

Try below modified code:
Code:
for i in site1 site2 site3 site4 site5 site6
do
cd /var/www/cgi-bin/$i
./application.cgi
done

Note: Just changed i$ to $i.
Refer Bash For Loop Examples for more examples.
