Not sure if this would work for signing packages, but I use this script to start all services listed in a text file: #!/bin/bash # Start all services on machine echo echo "++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++" echo "Running script: $0" echo "++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++" echo # start all services listed in service-names xargs -a ./service-names -i chkconfig --level 2345 {} on # list the status of services in service-names file echo "All services are now turned on (all those listed in service-names file) " echo "for run levels 2345" echo xargs -a ./service-names -i chkconfig --list {} echo exit 0 You may be able to modify the above script to do what you need it to. xargs is in the findutils package: Name : findutils Arch : i386 Epoch : 1 Version : 4.2.27 Release : 6.el5 Size : 662 k Repo : installed Summary : The GNU versions of find utilities (find and xargs). URL : http://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/ License : GPL Description: The findutils package contains programs which will help you locate files on your system. The find utility searches through a hierarchy of directories looking for files which match a certain set of criteria (such as a filename pattern). The xargs utility builds and executes command lines from standard input arguments (usually lists of file names generated by the find command).
