shell script with parameters?
hi , I wanted to create a script, and I have no idea how to, and I would appreciate any help on that. Any advice on solving this is welcome. Thanks

Here it goes:
make a shell script in bash that show the activity of users. The results should be a summary or a complete report in a file. Everything should be indicated by these parameters: -a showing the users' files modified in the last 24 hours
-p showing the processes separated by execution status for each user
-/ show how many connections and total time have done the users in the last week
-c nn, shows the last nn executed commands for each user in terminals.
--u user, verify that these are real system users otherwise show an error
-t hh:mm, indicate the interval whenever the script is executed to monitor the users.
-f file, file where the report should be saved for each user.
