Hi,
your script defines some functions but never uses them. When you process the userinput you call some commands directly that you use in the functions .
About your problem: command line arguments are stored in the positional parameters. They are referenced by a number which reflects their position. The first argument is $1, the second $2,... The special parameter $# holds the number of arguments passed.
I would check if $# is 1 and if that's true assign the corresponding number to the variable input depending on what $1 holds.
