Command to make another folder/file rwiteable (Shell Script Android)

I want to copy a script from the first .sh file to another file. But when the .sh file is executed, it say Read-only file system.

Inside the first .sh file this is the script 

echo "echo "|=================--=================|"" > /system/0211/0211syscheck.sh  
echo "echo "|====================================|"" > /system/0211/0211syscheck.sh

I try this for copy script to a file inside /system folder

Mount /system ReWritable:

mount -o rw,remount,rw /system

and ReadOnly:

mount -o ro,remount,ro /system

you can also use it for other directories.

PS: these commands are for linux terminal.

Here is a sample code to execute this code on android:

//your command
String[] commandrw = {"mount -o rw,remount,rw /system"};

//cmds = your command;
public boolean RunAsRoot(String[] cmds){

    Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
    Process process;
    try {
        for (String cmd : cmds) {
            process = runtime.exec(new String[] {"su", "-c", cmd});
            if (process.waitFor() != 0) {
                // Command failed
                return false;
            }
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

//put this code in a buttonclick or oncreate etc...
RunAsRoot(commandrw); //replace commandrw with your command
