[WBEL-users] script bash and options

[Vincent.Raffensberger at dtn.com]

You want to use getopts, like this:

while getopts ":c:h:j:" opt; do
        case $opt in
                "c")
                        echo do something with "-c"
                        ;;
                "h")
                        echo do something with "-h"
                        ;;
                "j")
                        echo do something with "-i"
                        ;;
                ?)
                        echo -e "$opt isn't an option.  Try again."
                        exit 1
                        ;;
    esac
done

[WBEL-users] script bash and options






Hello,

I would like to had an option when I launch my script in bash (like : 
backup.sh -c -h -j --usersdenied="kl")

I know that an argument can be passed to a command line ($1, $2,....) 
but I don't know how to write the script properly to :
- write the options in a different order (for example : backup.sh -j -h 
-c ...)
- write the options like this : -jhc
- options may not be wrotten too.

Or perhaps that I made a mistake and options are not arguments (like 
with : ls -l)

Does anybody knows ?

Thank you for your answer,

Jean
