instert variables in script
Hello,
i have a script named script.sh and i need to insert to variables.
I have the following code to do this
PHP Code:
echo -e "Enter name: \c "
read name1
echo -e "Insert surname: \c "
read surname1 
so i execute the script and i prompted to enter the name and the surname.

How can i run the script and enter the name and the surname at once.
PHP Code:
#./scriptsh name surname 
Thanks in advance
