copying executables to system/bin in android

I am building the android source code. I added my custom defined code in external/myservice folder i changed the make file according to ping application. I also added the path to myservice to build/core/main.mk. My problem is when the build is completed the executables that are generated are not copied in system/bin folder instead they go to out/target/product/../obj/EXECUTABLES/myservice_intermediates/ folder.

What should i do so that my generated executables go directly to out/target/product/../system/bin folder.??

Thanks in advance.

finally i found the answer.

you have to add the executable or package or library name in PRODUCT_PACKAGES variable present in device/../<device name>/<devicename>.mk file as 

PRODUCT_PACKAGES += <name of binary or apk or shared library>

The file will go to folder system/bin or system/app or system/lib as the case may be.
