Here is an example of a simple backup script I use to backup some files
and copy them to another machine to be put on tape.
echo $HOSTNAME > /var/log/backup.log
echo "Backup Started: " >> /var/log/backup.log
date >> /var/log/backup.log
tar --create --verbose --bzip2 --file /root/tuxtracker.tar.bz
1. the first value passed from the command line would be referenced as
$1 the second as $2
2. run command as part of an if statement. if the command execute
successfully the error result will be 0 and follow the then branch other
wise the else.

I have a script that mounts an samba shared drive, copies the contents
if newer to the Linux box, and then umounts the share.
