Hi Ljubomir.

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).
