Hi,
Strings are not evaluated with -ge thats the issue here.
you can use pattern matching or regex to check the arguments to avoid runtime exception if your shell supports.
Else
Code:
c=`echo "$num"|awk '/[^0-9.]/{print "0";}'`
if [ $c -eq 0 ]
then 
 echo "Args should have only digits"
 exit
fi

Cheers,
Ranga:-)
