multiple parameters
Perhaps you could try this
group your parameters by using quotes, like this
"var1 var2 var3 var4" "var5 var6 var7 var8 var9 var10"
Now your script will think you only got 2 parameters.
After this you can work with the parameters as long as you whish by using cut
echo $1 | cut -d" " -f2
to get var2
This way you can use as many parameters as you want in your scripts whithout loosing one

jls
JLS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual JLS(8) NAME
jls -- list jails SYNOPSIS
jls [-dhNnqsv] [-j jail] [parameter ...] DESCRIPTION
The jls utility lists all active jails, or the specified jail. Each jail is represented by one row which contains space-separated values of the listed parameters, including the pseudo-parameter all which will show all available jail parameters. A list of available parameters can be retrieved via ``sysctl -d security.jail.param''. See jail(8) for a description of some core parameters. If no parameters or any of the options -hns are given, the following four columns will be printed: jail identifier (jid), IP address (ip4.addr), hostname (host.hostname), and path (path). The following options are available: -d List dying as well as active jails. -h Print a header line containing the parameters listed. If no parameters are given on the command line, all is assumed. -N In the standard display mode, print each jail's name instead of its numeric ID. If the jail does not have a name, the numeric ID is printed instead. -n Print parameters in ``name=value'' format, where each parameter is preceded by its name. If no parameters are given on the command line, all is assumed. -q Put quotes around parameters if they contain spaces or quotes, or are the empty string. -s Print parameters suitable for passing to jail(8), skipping read-only and unused parameters. Implies -nq. -v Print a multiple-line summary per jail, with the following parameters: jail identifier (jid), hostname (host.hostname), path (path), jail name (name), jail state (dying), cpuset ID (cpuset), IP address(es) (ip4.addr and ip6.addr). -j jail The jid or name of the jail to list. Without this option, all active jails will be listed. SEE ALSO
jail_get(2), jail(8), jexec(8) HISTORY
The jls utility was added in FreeBSD 5.1. Extensible jail parameters were introduced in FreeBSD 8.0. BSD
