Thanks for your prompt reply!!
I don't quite understand what "positional parameters" mean.
To be clear, DoStuff - a common wrapper script that can call a set of different scripts & do common error handing, etc- looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
if [ $# -lt 2 ]; then
echo "Usuage: DoStuff parm1 parm2. Missing parameters. Exiting..."
exit 1
else
$1 $2 # calling script $1 with parameter $2
..... # error handling etc
fi
MainScript:
...
. doStuff parm1 parm2 # how exactly the parameters should be passed here ??
If I wrote doStuff as a function within the MainScript then this would work:
doStuff parm1 parm2
However, I want doStuff to be in a saparate script so it can be shared by different script files- instead of being written in each of the files.
Many thanks!!

script(1) General Commands Manual script(1)
NAME
script - Makes a transcript of terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [file]
The script command makes a transcript of everything printed on your terminal.
OPTIONS
Appends the transcript to file rather than writing it to file.
OPERANDS
The name of an output file that will contain the transcript of the session. If this parameter is omitted, the file typescript is written.
DESCRIPTION
The transcript is written to file, or appended to file if the -a option is given. If no file name is given, the transcript is saved in the
file typescript.
The script ends when the forked shell exits.
This program is useful when you are using a CRT and want a hard-copy record of the dialog (for example, a technical writer might create an
example of a working session this way).
If you specify the -a option and the file does not exist, it is created.
If you do not specify the -a option and the file exists, it is replaced.
RESTRICTIONS
The script command requires a streams based terminal. In single user mode, streams may not be enabled. Under these circumstances, script
will exit with no action. If you are the superuser and need to run this command in single user mode, use the following special instruc-
tions.
Enabling Streams
If it is necessary to enable a streams environment in the single user mode, enter the command /sbin/init.d/streams. This command is avail-
able to the superuser only.
