Parameter Passing problem
Hi All,
I developed a KSH script which will accept two parameters as input. These two parameters are some directories paths.
In the script i am validating the number of paramaters it received as below
#--------------------------------------
# Check Command line arguments
#--------------------------------------
if [ ${#} -ne 2 ]
then
echo " ${NOW} ${ScrName} : Invalid Parameter list..."
echo " ${NOW} ${ScrName} : Script needs TWO parameters"
echo " ${NOW} ${ScrName} : Param1--Input file path"
echo " ${NOW} ${ScrName} : Param2--Output file path"
exit 1
fi
and i am calling my script as
sh Script Name /home/raamch/work/infile /home/raamch/work/infile
script is giving the error as
+ [ 1 -ne 2 ]
+ echo Wed Jul 22 04:42:27 CDT 2009 SELUPDFLE.sh : Invalid Parameter list...
Wed Jul 22 04:42:27 CDT 2009 SELUPDFLE.sh : Invalid Parameter list...
+ echo Wed Jul 22 04:42:27 CDT 2009 SELUPDFLE.sh : Script needs TWO parameters
Wed Jul 22 04:42:27 CDT 2009 SELUPDFLE.sh : Script needs TWO parameters
+ echo Wed Jul 22 04:42:27 CDT 2009 SELUPDFLE.sh : Param1--Input file path
Wed Jul 22 04:42:27 CDT 2009 SELUPDFLE.sh : Param1--Input file path
+ echo Wed Jul 22 04:42:27 CDT 2009 SELUPDFLE.sh : Param2--Output file path
Wed Jul 22 04:42:27 CDT 2009 SELUPDFLE.sh : Param2--Output file path
+ exit 1
Even i tried the script calling as below
scriptname "path1" "path2"
scriptname "path1","path2"
scriptname 'path1' 'path2'
But no use.
script is not accepting the two parameters.
Please help me on how to pass directory paths as parameters to the KSH script.

Foreign(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual Foreign(4)
NAME
Foreign - Logs contact attempts from unknown systems
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/uucp/.Admin/Foreign
DESCRIPTION
The /usr/lib/uucp/.Admin/Foreign file lists access attempts by unknown systems. The /usr/lib/uucp/remote.unknown shell script appends an
entry to the Foreign file each time a remote computer that is not listed in the local /usr/lib/uucp/Systems file attempts to communicate
with that local system.
Someone with superuser authority can customize entries in the Foreign file to fit the needs of a specific site by modifying the
remote.unknown shell script.
EXAMPLES
The following is a sample entry in the Foreign file:
Wed Sep 20 20:38:22 CDT 1989: call from the system merlin
System merlin, which is not listed in the /usr/lib/uucp/Systems file, attempted to log in on September 20 at 10:38 p.m., but the uucp pro-
gram did not allow the unknown system to log in.
FILES
Describes access permissions for remote systems Describes accessible remote systems Records contacts from unknown systems in the Foreign
file Contains the Foreign file and other uucp administrative files
