passing an argument to a script
by rajesh[ Edit ] 2008-08-08 12:19:12
consider that you have written a script named test.sh
while executing the script you can pass argument to the script as
>sh test.sh argumnet1
example: >sh test.sh rajesh
to get the argument inside the script you have to just use
$1
yes $1 will fetch first argument.
similarly you can pass as many arguments and fetch them using $1, $2 so on...
example: >sh test.sh rajesh kumar
test.sh
echo "first argument $1"
echo "second argument $2"
the output will be
first argument rajesh
second argument kumar
