Hi People, How can I have my bash script read the option I pass in command line? Let's suppose the script looks like this: #!/bin/bash ping -c "?" 192.168.1.1 I want to have that number of count passed by command line when I launch the script. For example: # ./script 5 would execute ping -c 192.168.1.1 TIA, Jan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hey jan,

ping -c "?" 192.168.1.1

#!/bin/bash ping -c $1 192.168.1.1 ^^ $1 $2 $3 are the commandline parameters given to the script - Patrick -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Variables will be your friend in this case. $1 being the first parameter, $2 the 2nd, and so on... man bash is probably a good start for you too. dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Perhaps. Perhaps not. I'm all for documentation, of course (and for reading it), but BASH is pretty complicated and probably a gentler introduction is in order for someone who is so near the beginning of their learning curve on shell scripting. A Google search for "BASH Tutorial" gets many hits, not surprisingly.
