Subject: Re: Ruby scripts for daily unix system administration

Thank you, but its a bit advance for me. I'd like to start on how to parse
arguments from a shell scripts such as the following:

usage:  mktmpswap -c c0 -b b0 -f f0

Using Bourne shell, I can use case statement and awk to parse each argument
and capture its value ...

if -c then set count = c0
if -b then set blocksize = b0
if -f then set filename = 0

I'd love to get some simple example to do the above. Thanks.
