Hi,
I am using bash :

here's the code:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

usage()
{
    cat << EOF
usage: $0 options

This script genrates the report in xls format.

OPTIONS:
   -h      Show this message
   -s      Start date for the report(format: yyyy/mm/dd).
   -e      End date for the report(format: yyyy/mm/dd).
   -m      hostname fot which report is generated
   -f      hostfile(each host in new line)

Don't specify option(m,f) if you need to generate for all hosts.
EOF
}
start_date=
end_sate=
host_name=
host_file=

while getopts "hs:e:m:f" OPTION
do
    case $OPTION in
        h)
            usage
            exit 1
            ;;
        s)
            start_date=$OPTARG
            ;;
        e)
            end_date=$OPTARG
            ;;
        m)
            host_name=$OPTARG
            ;;
        f)
            host_file=$OPTARG
            ;;
        ?)
            usage
            exit
            ;;
    esac
done
if [ -z $start_date ]
then
    echo "Please specify start date for the report"
    usage
    exit
elif [ -z $end_date ]
then
    echo "Please specify end date for the report"
    usage
    exit
fi
if [[ -n "$host_name" && -n "$host_file" ]]
then
    echo "Please specify either single hostname or host file for the report"
    usage
    exit
fi

echo $start_date
echo $end_date
echo $host_name
echo $host_file

Cant figure out why its not working.

gst-complete-0.8

gst-complete-0.8(1)						   User Commands					       gst-complete-0.8(1)

NAME

       gst-complete-0.8, gst-complete - perform bash completion for gst-launch command lines

SYNOPSIS

       complete -Cgst-complete-0.8 gst-launch

       gst-complete [--gst-list-mm] [--gst-mm=string] [--print]

DESCRIPTION

       gst-complete-0.8 enables bash to provide context-sensitive tab completion for gst-launch command lines. See gst-launch(1) for the syntax of
       gst-launch command lines.

       You must have a version of bash that supports programmable completion. Such versions of bash provide the complete built-in command.

       gst-complete is a wrapper script that runs the latest installed version of gst-complete-X.X. For example, if both gst-complete-0.7 and gst-
       complete-0.8 are installed on your system, gst-complete runs gst-complete-0.8.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported by gst-complete-0.8 and gst-complete:

       --help	       Display detailed usage message. You can also use -? to specify this option.

       The following options are supported by gst-complete only:

       --gst-list-mm   List found major/minor versions. This option displays the versions that are available.

       --gst-mm=string Force  major/minor  version.  This  option  enables you to specify a specific version to run, if you do not want to run the
		       default version.

       --print	       Print wrapped command line. This option displays the command that will be run, and then runs the command.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Generating the Registry of Available Plugins by Running gst-compprep

       Run the following command in your .bash_profile or other appropriate place:

       example% complete -C gst-complete-0.8 gst-launch

       Example 2: Running the Wrapper Script and Displaying the Command Name

       example% gst-complete --print
       /usr/bin/gst-complete-0.8

FILES

       The following files are used by this application:

       /usr/bin/gst-complete-0.Executable for bash completion for gst-launch

       /usr/bin/gst-complete   Wrapper script that runs the latest installed version of gst-complete-X.X
