Full Discussion: Make script that run with argument if not run from configuration file argument

In my opinion this is more logic than script problem. You can do something like:
Code:
# Check if you have arguments to your scripts (maybe using getopts)
# If not, check and load data from configuration file
if [ ${#} -eq 1 ]
then
    zipCode=${1}
else
    # Load configuration file
    . <configuration file>
fi

I hope it helps! At least a start point for you...

modules-load.d

MODULES-LOAD.D(5)						  modules-load.d						 MODULES-LOAD.D(5)

NAME

       modules-load.d - Configure kernel modules to load at boot

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/modules-load.d/*.conf

       /run/modules-load.d/*.conf

       /usr/lib/modules-load.d/*.conf

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-modules-load.service(8) reads files from the above directories which contain kernel modules to load during boot in a static list.
       Each configuration file is named in the style of /etc/modules-load.d/program.conf. Note that it is usually a better idea to rely on the
       automatic module loading by PCI IDs, USB IDs, DMI IDs or similar triggers encoded in the kernel modules themselves instead of static
       configuration like this. In fact, most modern kernel modules are prepared for automatic loading already.

CONFIGURATION FORMAT

       The configuration files should simply contain a list of kernel module names to load, separated by newlines. Empty lines and lines whose
       first non-whitespace character is # or ; are ignored.

       Each configuration file shall be named in the style of program.conf. Files in /etc/ override files with the same name in /usr/lib/ and
       /run/. Files in /run/ override files with the same name in /usr/lib/. Packages should install their configuration files in /usr/lib/, files
       in /etc/ are reserved for the local administrator, who may use this logic to override the configuration files installed from vendor
       packages.

       If the administrator wants to disable a configuration file supplied by the vendor, the recommended way is to place a symlink to /dev/null
       in /etc/modules-load.d/ bearing the same filename.

EXAMPLE

       Example 1. /etc/modules-load.d/virtio-net.conf example:

	   # Load virtio-net.ko at boot
	   virtio-net
