getopt help
scriptname [ -l n ] [ -f n ] [ -s name ] [ -d name ]
[ -b name age ] [ -c ]

i have made a script to perform so tasks and i managed to complete the tasks for all the options

the problem i am facing is that i can run the scripts individually but i would like to make it such that it can accept multiple options and give me the appropriate output

e.g. scriptname -f 2 -s joe
and it gives me the output for the two option i have specified. i know i can use getopt but not sure how to apply it

taskstat

taskstat(1M)						  System Administration Commands					      taskstat(1M)

NAME

       taskstat - prints ASET tasks status

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/aset/util/taskstat [-d aset_dir]

DESCRIPTION

       taskstat  is  located  in  the /usr/aset/util directory. /usr/aset is the default operating directory of the Automated Security Enhancement
       Tool (ASET). An alternative working directory can be specified by the administrators through the aset -d command or the ASETDIR environment
       variable.  See aset(1M). Because  aset dispatches its tasks to run in the background, when it returns, these tasks may or may not have com-
       pleted. taskstat prints the status of the tasks, listing those that are completed and those that are still executing.

       The ASET reports, which are located in the /usr/aset/reports directory (see the	-d option), are not complete until all	the  tasks  finish
       executing.

OPTIONS

       -d aset_dir     Specify	the  working  directory for ASET. By default, this directory is /usr/aset. With this option, the reports directory
		       will be located under aset_dir.
