THanks for the reply......! but erm....
I literally just started shell scripting when I started this... so alot of what you posted is confusing me.... can you elaborate some? Im worried that since i used things like $1 and $2, its going to go haywire when its done w/ the multi utility. What if it needs to use $5 and $6 instead?....!
My C version was a while loop with an if/else chain inside it...I see thats whats happening here also
Let me pop on a unix server and check out the getopt manual... Im not at my linux computer right now...
thanks again !
EDIT:
hmm im sort of seeing how this works.. based off the manual, and google!
When I get back to my Linux machine later... ill give it a whirl... but will it be something like
while getopts r:f:c: o
do case "$o" in
r) right.s ;;
f) findtext.s;;
c) count.s;;
?) *help like message*
esac
done
??
Im not seeing how I will get proper arguments passed to the scripts this way though....

CHSH(1) User Commands CHSH(1)
NAME
chsh - change your login shell
SYNOPSIS
chsh [-s shell] [-l] [-u] [-v] [username]
DESCRIPTION
chsh is used to change your login shell. If a shell is not given on the command line, chsh prompts for one.
chsh is used to change local entries only. Use ypchsh, lchsh or any other implementation for non-local entries.
OPTIONS
-s, --shell shell
Specify your login shell.
-l, --list-shells
Print the list of shells listed in /etc/shells and exit.
-u, --help
Print a usage message and exit.
-v, --version
Print version information and exit.
VALID SHELLS
chsh will accept the full pathname of any executable file on the system. However, it will issue a warning if the shell is not listed in
the /etc/shells file. On the other hand, it can also be configured such that it will only accept shells listed in this file, unless you
are root.
EXIT STATUS
Returns 0 if operation was successful, 1 if operation failed or command syntax was not valid.
SEE ALSO
login(1), passwd(5), shells(5)
AUTHOR
Salvatore Valente <svalente@mit.edu>
AVAILABILITY
The chsh command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
