If an executable script called "myscript" was invoked from the command line as
we can save the parameters into named environment variables called say filename from $1 and the permissions parameter (755) from $2.
If we want to find out the current directory listing for the file myfile we can extend the script by one line. Any line starting with a hash character (#) a comment line and will be ignored by the shell.
Now we understand script parameters, we can take the saved $2 (now called ${perms} ) and substitute it into a unix chmod command.
Your turn!

mkcover
MKCOVER(8) System Manager's Manual MKCOVER(8)NAME
mkcover - HylaFAX continuation cover page generation command
SYNOPSIS
/var/spool/hylafax/bin/mkcover qfile template result
DESCRIPTION
bin/mkcover is the command invoked by the facsimile server when a continuation cover page is required for an outbound job that is about to
be retried. It generates a single POSTSCRIPT(R) page that is imaged according to the remote capabilities and transmitted as the cover
page. The arguments are:
qfile the job description file for the outbound job.
template the cover page template file, as used by the faxcover(1) program.
result the filename where the resultant POSTSCRIPT document should be written.
The default mkcover command is a shell script that uses awk(1) to parse the job description file and generate the cover page document. The
template file may be optionally compressed with compress(1), pack(1), or gzip(1); the filename suffix is used to decide whether or not the
template file contains compressed data.
