I saw something similar to this in the archives already, but didn't see a real answer. I am modifying my 'whois' command to just grep for the expiration date of my domains:
ie jwhois whois $DOM | grep -i expi | grep -i -e jan -e feb -e mar -e apr -e may -e jun -e jul -e aug -e sep -e oct -e nov -e dec | grep -i -v date What I would like is to pass in the parameter in the commandline: jwhois <domain> Currently I have: echo -n "Enter the domain name: " read DOM I would prefer, again, just to execute the command with the domain name following.... Not sure how to do it. I have been looking around and saw things like getopts, but I am only passing in one variable and thought it should be fairly simple Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/read-1-var-in-when-executing-command-tf3732385.html#a10447367 Sent from the Gnu - Bash mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
