I'm having trouble making a SH shell script. I'm trying to have it accept 2 arguments, and then execute a command line app, passing the 2 arguments into the arguments of the command line app it's calling, along with some other arguments that are static. In addition, the execute it calls is not a hard coded path, but rather in the same directory the SH shell script is running in.

Any pointers? Thanks!

Easy... $0 = the original command, $1 = argument one, $2 = argument two, etc.

So, for example:

sh myscript.sh --source /path1 --dest /path2

$1 = --source
$2 = /path1
$3 = --dest
$4 = /path2

I'm not sure how much "pointer" you're looking for, so here's the general form of what you want to do:

Code:
if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then
echo "I TAKE TWO ARGUMENTS, GENIUS!"
else
./somecommand $@ -staticarg -anotherstaticarg
fi

Thanks guys! I'll give it a shot.
