This can easily be arranged with an extra line in the case statement.
Code:
case $FILENAME in
  I*|i*) i-operation ;;
  M*|m*) m-operation ;;
  P*|p*) p-operation ;;
  *)     echo "Wrong inputfile. The first character should be i, m or p. Exiting"; exit 1 ;;

update-cracklib(8)					      System Manager's Manual						update-cracklib(8)

NAME
update-cracklib - Regenerate cracklib dictionary SYNOPSIS
update-cracklib DESCRIPTION
update-cracklib builds a compressed and accumulated version of wordlists stored in the directories given in cracklib's configuration file /etc/cracklib/cracklib.conf. Programs using cracklib2 need this database to be of any use. By default this script is called by cron every day. RESULT
update-cracklib prints out two numbers: the number of words read from the ASCII dictionaries and the number of words eventually written into the cracklib database; if no error occurred, these should be equal. 0 is returned on success, otherwise an error message is printed to standard error and -1 is returned. FILES
/etc/cracklib/cracklib.conf shell script that sets cracklib_dictpath_src which must be a space separated list of source dictionary files. SEE ALSO
cracklib(3), crack_mkdict(8) AUTHOR
This program and manual page was written by Martin Pitt <martin@piware.de> for the Debian GNU/Linux System (but may be used by others). Martin Pitt June 09, 2003 update-cracklib(8)
