executing files from another file

[brad77567756]

ok so the issue i have is i need to over simplify a command for my friend to execute when he is on my server
what i need to do is have him enter a very simple command like ./name and it will execute a file called ./name.pl --option --option
and i need to make several of these so he can enter
./name1
./name2
./name3
and execute the correct file with the preset options
i know this may seem to be a bit over simplifing for dumb people but thats what i was asked to do
so if anyone can tell me where to look for the information i need to make this happen i would be greatly apreciated

and a side note it would be even more convenient if it was posible to change them without too much dificulty like if i could just vim the new file and change 1 of the options or something

thanks

Try with a BASH script:

Just put the command in a text file, save it with the name your friend wants to execute, make it executable and ... done!

Example

#!/bin/bash

#The command to launch 
cp -RPp --progress file1 folder1

It is totally interpreted so changing the file is as editing any other file
