Step 1: making directories based on the name of the RAR file:
`/ppss.sh standalone -d ./dir-with-rars -c 'ITEM=`basename "$ITEM"`; mkdir ./output-dir/"$ITEM"'`
`/ppss.sh -d ./dir-with-rars -c 'ITEM=`basename "$ITEM"`; mkdir ./output-dir/"$ITEM"'`
Explanation: by default, each item consists of the full or relative path to that item. An item will expand as "./dir-with-rars/filename.rar". However, the directory name must be based only on the filename. So the unix build-in 'basename' is used to extract the filename from the item and use it to create the directory name.

Step 2: extracting the files of each RAR file into it's own directory.
`./ppss.sh standalone -d ./dir-with-rars -c 'ITEM_DIR=`basename "$ITEM"`; unrar x "$ITEM" ./output-dir/"$ITEM_DIR"'`
`./ppss.sh -d ./dir-with-rars -c 'ITEM_DIR=`basename "$ITEM"`; unrar x "$ITEM" ./output-dir/"$ITEM_DIR"'`
In this example, we use the basename command again to be able to specify the output directory based on the supplied ITEM name.
Ofcourse, it is possible to put this all in one command:
`./ppss.sh standalone -d ./dir-with-rars -c 'ITEM_DIR=`basename "$ITEM"`; mkdir ./output-dir/"$ITEM_DIR"; unrar x "$ITEM" ./output-dir/"$ITEM_DIR"'`
`./ppss.sh -d ./dir-with-rars -c 'ITEM_DIR=`basename "$ITEM"`; mkdir ./output-dir/"$ITEM_DIR"; unrar x "$ITEM" ./output-dir/"$ITEM_DIR"'`
*Execute commands in a file*

To execute this properly, the command as provided to the -c option is slightly altered:
`./ppss -f afile.txt -c 'bash $ITEM'`
Notice that in this case, you *must* supply the '$ITEM' variable *without* double quotes. If you omit the '$ITEM' variable or use '"$ITEM"' then the commands will fail like this:
