Hi
Inside a shell script you can read the arguments passed to your shell program by $1, $2, $3 .......
for e.g if your script file name is myscript and if you want to pass an argument to it like (myscript arg1) then inside myscript you can refer the arg1 by $1.
Hope this helps

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
