I was thinking about a 'mkmenu' script which can called with a parameter

First I like to create a config-file which defines profiles like:

# mkmake.profile 

office  <package1> <package2> <package3> <package4> <package5> <package6> 
jr-10   <package1> <package2> <package3> 
jr-14   <package1> <package2> <package3> <package4> 

Then I like to call 'mkmenu' with 

mkmenu <profile>

and it will check, if a package specified in the mkmenu.profile is 
present in the /var/lib/menu diectory and then it if YES, it will be
added and moved into the ~/.menu folder

It can be done easyly with a BASH-Script

Sorry, but curently I am very sick because a Kidneyfail and can not 
work on it, but I like to hear from you

Michelle
