- If you'd like to create a template for a user, use the following command:
```bash
/home/user/specialtpl.sh -U "Your User Name"
```
- To create a template for all users on your system, use this command:
```bash
/home/user/specialtpl.sh -a
```
- If you need to create a template for a specific private directory (e.g., for a user with sudo privileges), use the following command:
```bash
/home/user/specialtpl.sh -s "Your Private Directory"
```
Please note that the usage and syntax can vary slightly depending on your setup and configuration. Always ensure you're using `sudo` to avoid any potential security risks.
