passing runtime arguments to a shell script...
hi I am new to shell programming.....my question is while running one of my shell program it stops in between to accept input from the user and proceeds furthur after giving input....I want to know whether I can set this input through some files so that the shell acript reads the input from the file and will not prompt the user to input the required data...the input is a text...is there any other possibilities using pipes....
thanks in advance

Hi,
I have a shell script Scp_1.sh for which I have to pass 2 arguments to run.
I have another script Scp_2.sh which in turns calls script Scp_1.sh inside.
How do I make Scp_1.sh script to read arguments automatically from a file, while running Scp_2.sh?

i3-input
I3-INPUT(1) i3 Manual I3-INPUT(1)
NAME
i3-input - interactively take a command for i3 window manager
SYNOPSIS
i3-input [-s <socket>] [-F <format>] [-l <limit>] [-P <prompt>] [-f <font>] [-v]
DESCRIPTION
i3-input is a tool to take commands (or parts of a command) composed by the user, and send it/them to i3. This is useful, for example, for
the mark/goto command.
You can press Escape to close i3-input without sending any commands.
OPTIONS
-s <socket>
Specify the path to the i3 IPC socket (it should not be necessary to use this option, i3-input will figure out the path on its own).
-F <format>
Every occurence of "%s" in the <format> string is replaced by the user input, and the result is sent to i3 as a command. Default value
is "%s".
-l <limit>
Set the maximum allowed length of the user input to <limit> characters. i3-input will automatically issue the command when the user
input reaches that length.
-P <prompt>
Display the <prompt> string in front of user input text field. The prompt string is not included in the user input/command.
-f <font>
Use the specified X11 core font (use xfontsel to chose a font).
-v
Show version and exit.
EXAMPLES
Mark a container with a single character:
i3-input -F 'mark %s' -l 1 -P 'Mark: '
Go to the container marked with above example:
i3-input -F '[con_mark="%s"] focus' -l 1 -P 'Go to: '
ENVIRONMENT
I3SOCK
i3-input handles the different sources of socket paths in the following order:
o I3SOCK environment variable
o I3SOCK gets overwritten by the -s parameter, if specified
o if neither are available, i3-input reads the socket path from the X11 property, which is the recommended way
o if everything fails, i3-input tries /tmp/i3-ipc.sock
The socket path is necessary to connect to i3 and actually issue the command.
