Hi Yogesh,
It is very easy, like if you have one directory "XYZ" under your /tmp and under XYZ you have six directory A,B,C,D,E,F. and you want to switch one by one in all directory and want to execute a script, then you need to follow below steps.

cd /tmp/XYZ/
ls | while read line
do
cd $line
sh <script name>
cd ..
done

Tell me if any thing other you want. . .

Hi,

for i in `find /tmp/test/* -type d`
do
echo $i
cd $i
/tmp/scriptname
done

- echo $i would show the dir name
-/tmp/scriptname is the script with executable permission or replace it with sh scriptname as in Piyush's post.

Or else you can first create text file contains all the dirs you want as below and manually modify as per your needs by adding more or deleting unwanted ones:

find /tmp/test/* -type d > /tmp/dirlist

Once you satisfied with the list of dirs then you can run the script on that file

for i in `cat /tmp/dirlist `
do
echo $i
cd $i
/tmp/scriptname
done
