Pass parameter into script
I would like to write a scirpt a.sh that it first checks the first parameter of the input. If it fulfill some condition ,then run an executable program b by using all the parameter.
ie.
> ./a.sh 10 20 30 40 50
Then a.sh first checks the first parameter, 10, if it mathes the requirement, then a will call program b to run
> b 10 20 30 40 50
I do not know how many parameter will be passwd into b. Therefore, I cannot use $1, $2......
Is there any solution?

run(1F) FMLI Commands run(1F)
NAME
run - run an executable
SYNOPSIS
run [ -s] [-e] [-n] [-t string] program
DESCRIPTION
The run command runs program, using the PATH variable to find it. By default, when program has completed, the user is prompted (Press ENTER
to continue:), before being returned to FMLI. The argument program is a system executable followed by its options (if any).
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-e If -e is specified, the user will be prompted before returning to FMLI only if there is an error condition
-n If -n is specified, the user will never be prompted before returning to FMLI (useful for programs like vi, in which
the user must do some specific action to exit in the first place).
-s The -s option means "silent", implying that the screen will not have to be repainted when program has completed.
Note that the -s option should only be used when program does not write to the terminal. In addition, when -s is
used, program cannot be interrupted, even if it recognizes interrupts.
-tstring If -t is specified, string is the name this process will have in the pop-up menu generated by the frm-list command.
This feature requires the executable facesuspend (see face(1)) to suspend the process and return to the FMLI appli-
cation.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Sample output of run command
Here is a menu that uses run:
menu="Edit special System files"
name="Password file"
action=`run -e vi /etc/passwd`
name="Group file"
action=`run -e vi /etc/group`
name="My .profile"
action=`run -n vi $HOME/.profile`
