device1,deviceType,major,minor,permissions
device2,deviceType,major,minor,permissions
...
....
..
deviceN,deviceTypeN,major,minor,permissions
For each line I need to construct and execute a shell command as follows:
/path/to/deviceMaker --context=$1 -m $permissions $device2 $deviceType $major $minor Answer to 'Bash Shell Read a Line Field By Field'
