command line arguments

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have this while loop and at the end I am trying to get it to tell me the last argument I entered. And with it like this all I get is the sentence with no value for $1. Now I tried moving done after the sentence and it printed the value of $1 after every number. I don't want that I just want the last argument entered.



while [ $# -gt 0 ]
do
echo "$#"
shift
sleep 1s
done

echo The last command line argument you entered is $1.

can anyone help?

NAME
asadmin-version, version - displays theversion information SYNOPSIS
version [--user admin_user] [--password admin_password] [--host localhost] [--port 4848] [--secure |-s] [--passwordfile filename] [--terse=false] [--echo=false] [--interactive] [--verbose=false] version displays the version information. If the command-line cannot communicate with the administration server with the given user/pass- word and host/port, then the command-line will retrieve the Version locally and display a warning message. If the user option is not entered, the command-line will retrieve the version locally and display a warning message. The warning message will not be displayed if --terse option is entered on the command line. OPTIONS
--user authorized domain application server administrative username. --password password to administer the domain application server. --host machine name where the domain application server is running. --port port number of the domain application server listening for administration requests. --secure if true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the domain application server. --passwordfile file containing the domain application server password. --terse indicates that any output data must be very concise, typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring well- formatted data for consumption by a script. --echo setting to true will echo the command line statement on the standard output. --interactive prompts you for the required options that are not already specified. --verbose displays version information in detail.
