snippet:

Code:

INFILE="./myserverlist"

if [[ $1 = "ALL" ]]; then
   while read SERVER PORT; do
      echo ${SERVER} ${PORT}
   done < ${INFILE}
else
   echo "No or wrong parameter!"
fi

exit 0

Change the "echo" vs. your start syntax.
You can parse other parameters with optargs or witch case/esac.

EDIT: Sorry, yes, Danmero is right, I was a bit too fast. Please use tags and show what you got next time.
