Shell script with arguments
Hi All,
I need some help/ideas in coming up with a shell script.
Basically, the script should install 1 or 2 or 3 packages based on the input arguments.
For example, if I type in pkgscript.sh a1 a2 a3, it should install all the 3 scripts and pkgscript.sh a1 should install only a1.
If a user enters only pkgscript.sh, it should ask for arguments and then proceed accordingly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated by this shell script novice.
Thank you,
Sankar.
