[Level 3] The script for demo creating mass zones on OpenSolaris

Days ago, my colleague will demo about the virtualization techniques on OpenSolari.
So I share the script for him to demo fast creating zones on OpenSolaris.
After test, my lap will create a zone per 3 seconds.
That impress him, and he decided to demo on that session.

The same script that I'd like to share to you, please refer the following script code.
Any question, and suggestion, please feel free to let me know.

#!/usr/bin/bash

showUsage() {
  cat<<EOF
Usage:
  $0 [c]reate  [original index] [start index] [end index]
  $0 [d]estroy [start index]    [end index]   [always yes]
  $0 [l]ist
Ex.
  $0 c 1 2 10   => create  zone2, zone3, ... ,zone10
  $0 c 1 3 8    => create  zone3, zone4, ... ,zone8
  $0 d 2 10 [F] => destroy zone2, zone3, ... ,zone10
  $0 l
PS.
  for solaris 11 only
  all indexes must greater then 1, less then 255
Zones:
`listZone`
