=head3 subvars_for_mypostscript 
 
	create the  mypostscript file for each node in the noderange, according to 
        the template file  mypostscript.tmpl. The template file is 
        /opt/xcat/share/xcat/templates/mypostscript/mypostscript.tmpl by default. and
        uses also can copy it to /install/postscripts/, and customize it there.
        The mypostscript.tmpl is for all the images.

        If success, there is a mypostscript.$nodename for each node in the $tftpdir/mypostscripts/      	
	

    Arguments:

    Returns:

                            see what db attrs will be needed. The  %::GLOBAL_TAB_HASH will store all
                            the db attrs needed. And the format of value setting looks like:

        %::GLOBAL_SN_HASH: getservicenode() will get all the nodes in the servicenode table. And the 
                            result will store in the %::GLOBAL_SN_HASH. The fortmac of the value setting
                            looks like:
                            $::GLOBAL_SN_HASH{$servicenod1} = 1;
