But since no one answered me, I'd like to share what I found with experiments. The shell script will be evaluated at the specified phase, such as %prep, %install, %post, %postun, etc. So, the solution is either define a shell env variable by `cmd` or just put the `cmd` in the part you need it. Hope someone else can share some more elegant solutions. Thanks.
