Control_files can be defined for filesets and products.
interpreter
The name of an interpreter used to execute control_files. By default, SD interprets scripts
with a POSIX shell ( sh). You can define a different interpreter, for example:
interpreter ksh
SD checks that the interpreter is available. If not, the script fails. If SD finds the interpreter,
it processes the script normally using the specified interpreter.
Control scripts can also define their own interpreter in the first line of the script.
path
The relative pathname to the control_script in the control_directory.
result
The result obtained from executing the control_script.
