Not exactly i want it to run with differnt vars and conditions depending on what flags i put out there. So i guess if i want to change vars according to a flag just do a case with the flags i want the $1... to match. but what happens if i change the order. because if i run the script "script -y -t" as i understand $1=y and $2=t so the case would only check for changing vars according to the order i put them in. How would i make it not order dependant.
