UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

i want to be able to use multiple positional paramteres on the command line. For example the name of my script is getDisk and when i run getDisk -u it runs the function getUSB and it gives me output of the usb disk name c2t0d0s0. I am still working on the getFC function to find fibre channel devices but in the meantime i have the function printing out a string.

why is it when i run getDisk -f -a i only get "hello"?

getFC
{
echo "hello"
}

while getopts hisuf:a OPTION
do
case $OPTION in
s) getSCSI ;;
f) getFC ;;
a) echo "something";;
u) getUSB ;;
i) getInternal ;;
h) Usage ;;
\?) echo "$0: $OPTARG is an invalid option!"
exit 2 ;;
esac
done

How do you pass to the second argument? arent you missing some "Shift"?

Regards
