Try this by running from the programs folder.

find -depth -type d | while read dir; do rar -a   ${dir}.rar ${dir}/* ; done

i have the following error

ERROR: Unknown option: a

What option do you use in a single rar of the folder?
I used -a for add and it worked fine. Just change the option -a to whatever you use or leave the -a out and see how it works.

thanks for help me i already find a command working for me

for f in *; do rar a -s -m0 "$f.rar" "$f"; done

splits sub directories and rar with its original subfolder name

find -depth -type d | while read dir; do rar -a   ${dir}.rar ${dir}/* ; done

Great. You are welcome. Then this command would be :

find -depth -type d | while read dir; do rar a -s -m0 ${dir}.rar ${dir}/* ; done
