Need to run the script by argument passing
Hi All,

I have a question regarding running this script by passing an argument, for example ./ShellParse.sh sun, how do i do that? So i want when i pass argument sun, it shouild execute things inside the for loop. I want to support some other platforms too, so there are more for loops to come.
How do i do that?

Thanks
Adsi


Code:
#!/bin/sh

ECHO=/bin/echo
FIND=/bin/find
AWK=/bin/awk
LS=/bin/ls
GREP=/bin/grep

ROOT_PATH=/net/icebox/vol/local_images/spins
STREAM_PATH=$ROOT_PATH/7.1

SUN_PLATFORM=`$FIND $STREAM_PATH . -depth -name ShareableEntities | $AWK -F"/" '{if($10 ~ /sun
5/) print $0}'`

for i in $SUN_PLATFORM
do
$ECHO $i
$LS $i | $GREP .su | $AWK -F"_" '{print $1}'
done | sort | uniq -c

gzexe

GZEXE(1)						      General Commands Manual							  GZEXE(1)

NAME

       gzexe - compress executable files in place

SYNOPSIS

       gzexe [ name ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  gzexe  utility  allows you to compress executables in place and have them automatically uncompress and execute when you run them (at a
       penalty in performance).  For example if you execute ``gzexe /bin/cat'' it will create the following two files:
	   -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  bin   9644 Feb 11 11:16 /bin/cat
	   -r-xr-xr-x  1 bin   bin  24576 Nov 23 13:21 /bin/cat~
       /bin/cat~ is the original file and /bin/cat is the self-uncompressing executable file.  You can remove /bin/cat~ once  you  are	sure  that
       /bin/cat works properly.

       This utility is most useful on systems with very small disks.

OPTIONS

       -d     Decompress the given executables instead of compressing them.

SEE ALSO

       gzip(1), gznew(1), gzmore(1), gzcmp(1), gzforce(1)

CAVEATS

       The  compressed	executable  is a shell script. This may create some security holes. In particular, the compressed executable relies on the
       PATH environment variable to find gzip and some other utilities (tail, chmod, ln, sleep).

BUGS

       gzexe attempts to retain the original file attributes on the compressed executable, but you may have to fix them manually  in  some  cases,
       using chmod or chown.
