input variable like POST in PHP possibly?

I have a very large database and once in awhile the database auto loading scripts that update the database for the daily updates fails and I have to go in and manually fix it but when that happens I usually have to start from scratch on sundays I have access to a weekly database rebuild. Then I have to apply each day thereafter to complete the process.

I have the weekly taken care of in a script that downloads the weekly update, unzips it, and uses some .sql scripts to load the information into the database. But I have 6 other scripts that have to be run one at a time for each of the days that may follow the weekly rebuild. What I am wanting to do is combine all 7 scripts into a single file say manual_rebuild.sh and then call that script with something like this:

./manual_rebuild.sh wed

The script would pick up that "wed" variable and it would download the weekly update unpack, load, delete the weekly .zip file then do monday, tuesday, and wednesday the same way. But I dont know how to define a variable like that from outside the script. If anyone has any clues please fill me in. Possibly a code example? Thank you...

overchan

OVERCHAN(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       OVERCHAN(8)

NAME

       overchan - update the news overview database

SYNOPSIS

       overchan [ -D dir ] [ -c ] [ file...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       Overchan  reads	article  data  from files or standard input if none are specified.  (A single dash in the file list means to read standard
       input.)	It uses this information to update the news overview database.	Overchan is designed to be used by  InterNetNews  or  the  C  News
       ``mkov'' packages to update the database as the articles come in.  The database for each newsgroup is stored in a file named .overview in a
       newsgroup directory within the overview database tree.

       Overchan locks the database file (by locking an auxiliary file) before appending the new data.  To purge  data  after  articles	have  been
       expired, see expireover(8).

       By default, overchan processes its input as an INN overview stream written as a ``WO'' entry in the newsfeeds(5) file, for example:

	      overview:*:Tc,WO:/usr/lib/news/bin/overchan

       This  data  consists  of  a  line of text, separated into two parts by a tab.  The first part is a list of all relative pathnames where the
       article has been written, with a single space between entries.  The second part is the data to be written into the  overview  file,  except
       that  the  initial article number is omitted.  The data in the overview files should be expired by running expireover(8).  This is normally
       done by adding the ``expireover'' flag to the news.daily(8) invocation.

OPTIONS

       -c     To process the output of the mkov(8) program, use the ``-c'' flag.  This format is described in the ``nov'' distribution.

       -D     The ``-D'' flag can be used to specify where the databases are stored.  The default directory is /var/spool/news/over.view.
