ah jeeze my bad I thought I did the code blocks....

anyway, I am confused on how to handle the variables with each case in the getopts command....

like, i do
Code:
 grep -n $1 $2

for findtext.

how do I translate that to the f) section of getops?

Code:
f)grep -n $1 $2

?....or are there arbitrary index counters I am not keeping track of where I can do something like
Code:
grep -n $x $x+1

?


thanks a ton!

EDIT: $OPTIND and $OPTIND+1

is that the right variable to be dealing with??

Oh the excitement I think im getting somewhere.... if only i could test this out right now!

SYNOPSIS

       rlinetd [-f|--config <config-file>] [-p|--parser <parser-module>] [-d|--debug] [-h|--help]

DESCRIPTION

       rlinetd is a connection manager which binds and listens to a number of ports, and performs specified actions when a connection is made.

OPTIONS

       -d , --debug
	      is  a  flag  to  raise the debug level. This will, amongst other things, prevent dissociation from the controlling terminal and give

       -h , --help
	      will give a brief synopsis of the options.

       -f , --config <config-file>
	      allows the specification of an alternative configuration file to be read.

       -p , --parser <parser-module>
	      allows the specification of an alternative parser module to be used when parsing the configuration file.
