Script with an argument

Quote:
The parameter "start" is not a magic parameter. It is just an example of a value of $1 supplied to a script. The script would then test for the value of $1 and take appropriate action like start (or stop) a service.
It is however a convention in system start/stop scripts (see "man rc") to use the parameter values "start" and "stop".
There is a further convention with system start/stop scripts that they should fail if there is no parameter supplied at all.
