Yes - you can have a script with a "case" and hard link to another
name (you can symlink but they're not as efficient as hard links)
#!/bin/bash
# set your variables here.
F=foo
B=bar
case "$0" in
"*1.sh")
check your parameters for the first script...
do stuff to create output | your_script_2.sh
;;
"*2.sh")
# some prog which reads input or read the input in bash
while read Col1 Col2 Col3 RestOfLine
do
do your stuff - reading a line at a time lets you pick off
columns if needed...
done
;;
"*[!12].sh")
echo We do not expect to be called $0
exit
;;
esac
