[Ilugc] Shell script with arguments

[Vijay Kumar]

Hi All,

I need some help/ideas in coming up with a shell script.

Basically, the script should install 1 or 2 or 3 packages based on the
input arguments.

For example, if I type in pkgscript.sh a1 a2 a3, it should install all the
3 scripts and pkgscript.sh a1 should install only a1.

If a user enters only pkgscript.sh, it should ask for arguments and then
proceed accordingly.

Thanks in advance.

does not yum or apt-get do this?

Use $# and $@. A rough outline is :

if  [[ $# == 0 ]]; then
do something
fi

for pkg in $@
do
 install ${pkg}
done

Please read up on bash programming. This will be covered there. thanks
