Hi,
I am writig this script and usually I have prompts like:
echo "Enter file name: "
read "$filename"
So later when I want verify the name to something I can:
if [ "$filename" = "penski" ]
then
echo "Hello $filename"
Anyways how is this done without prompting for example:
I have a script that manages files, but when running the program you type this at the command line:
file mynewfile.txt
where mynewfile is a file in my dir and file is the name of the script:
Becuase I need my script to say whether this is a valid file in my dir.
Thanks,
theA

SIEVESHELL(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation SIEVESHELL(1)
NAME
sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts
SYNOPSIS
sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--exec=script] server[:port]
sieveshell --help
DESCRIPTION
sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server. It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress.
The following commands are recognized:
list list scripts on server.
put <filename> upload script to server.
get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout
delete <name> delete script.
activate <name> activate script.
deactivate deactivate all scripts.
OPTIONS
-u user, --user=user
The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials.
-a authname, --authname=authname
The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user).
-r realm, --realm=realm
The realm to attempt authentication in.
-e script, --exec=script
Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
