You can save the argument which is being passed to script B in a file everytime script A gets executed.

Here is an example.

Code:
 
Script A
 
LOC="Where you want to save the argument counter file"
ARG_CNT_FILE="Name of file"
if [ ! -f ${LOC}/${ARG_CNT_FILE} ] ## Checking for the existance of FILE
then
ARG_CNT=0 ## since the FILE doesn't exist, hence 1st time execution
else
ARG_CNT=`cat ${LOC}/${ARG_CNT_FILE}` ## FILE exists get the argument value from the FILE
ARG_CNT=`expr ${ARG_CNT} + 1` ## Increment the counter by 1
fi
echo ${ARG_CNT} > ${LOC}/${ARG_CNT_FILE} ## Save the new value of counter to the FILE
SCRIPT_B ${ARG_CNT} ## Execute script B with the argument

Vishal

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
atf-sh(3) BSD
