No, no, there is a file in folder which contain name same as the name of the zip file. So when unzip, it change name of the that file, not zip archive.

We obviously have a language barrier here, but I believe the code I suggested in post #12 meets your stated requirements.

However, I am concerned that:
  1. all of your zip files are being unzipped into a single directory,
  2. a single configuration file is being edited every time you run this script, and
  3. the command to run after updating an existing source file or installing a new source file never changes.
All three of these points seem strange to me, but without knowing:
  1. what files are in your zip archives,
  2. why the file configfile.txt needs to be edited every time you install a new file with a .d filename extension, and
  3. what the command service something restart does
it is very hard to guess at what you are trying to do or to determine whether or not any of the code I suggested will be of any use to you.

1. It is some sertificates
2. Because it will allways go to another PC, not to the same
3. Its just a restart of some service (apache, mysql, etc).

So for a brief explanation of task. You have one zip file that should be unziped to some folder. On of unziped file contains a extension that need to be renamed. Then config file must be changed, and restart some service. Thats all that is need to be done.

You don't seem to realize what your script is doing:
  1. OK. Having certificates in a file ending with the filename extension .c (which by convention is used to indicate that it is a C programming language source code file) is confusing, but now I understand why you might want to change the filename extension from .c to .d.
  2. No. Exactly the same change is made to the exact same file (/root/Documents/test/configfile.txt) every time your script is run. How does that identify a different server???
  3. Not some service. The same service every time you run your script. The command service something restart would seem to always restart the something service (not apache, not mysql; nothing by the single service named something).
  4. Not to some folder. Always to the same folder (/root/Documents/test) every time your script is run.
The only things that change every time your script is run are:
  1. the name of the zip archive and
  2. the name of the file that is renamed in the directory /root/Documents/test.
Everything else in your script is a constant.

but yeah, thats idea. Extensions are just a examples. I dont need to determine other machines. When I execute script it needs to do what to, unzip, copy, etc. So in every other machines it will be doing the same, thats the point.
