How do I ignore one character in a case statement? PLEASE HELP!
Hello, I am new to this forums. I need help with shell, and ksh in particular. I have a case statement that does something if -k. So it looks like:
case $arg in
-k) PUT=y, SEND=1
Thats all good and dandy. But now I want to change it where whether or not the user puts -k or not, it will do PUT=y, SEND=1. So pretty much, it has to ignore -k. How can I do that? If I want to put an or statement such as -k|"") PUT=y, SEND=1 how come that doesn't work? Please help!
Thank you very much in advance!

send-nntp
SEND-UUCP(8) System Manager's Manual SEND-UUCP(8)
NAME
send-nntp, send-ihave - send Usenet articles to remote site
SYNOPSIS
send-nntp [ -d ] sitename:hostname | sitename [ sitename:hostname | sitename .. ]
send-ihave [ -d ] sitename:hostname | sitename [ sitename:hostname | sitename .. ]
DESCRIPTION
The send-* utilities are scripts that process the batch files written by innd(8) to send Usenet articles to a remote NNTP site.
The sites to be fed may be specified by giving sitename hostname pairs on the command line.
The sitename is the label the site has in the newsfeeds file, the hostname is the real hostname of the remote site, a FQDN (Fully Qualified
Domain Name). Normally, the sitename and the hostname are the same, and as such don't have to be specified as sitename:hostname pairs but
just as a sitename.
send-nntp starts an innxmit to send the articles to the remote site.
send-ihave encapsulates the articles in an ihave control message and uses inews to send the articles to a to.sitename pseudo-group. Using
send-ihave is discouraged, nobody uses it anymore and even the author of this manpage is unsure as to how it actually works or used to
work.
send-* expect that the batchfile for a site is named <pathoutgoing in inn.conf>/sitename. To prevent batchfile corruption, shlock(1) is
used to ``lock'' these files.
OPTIONS
-d The ``-d'' flag causes nntpsend to send output to stdout rather than the log file <pathlog in inn.conf>/<program-name>.log.
NOTES
You should probably not use send-nntp, but innfeed, or if that is not possible, nntpsend.
The usual flags for a batch file for send-nntp are ``Tf,Wfm''.
