[Casper] scripts and $ parameters

[Clinton Blackmore]

When Casper executes your script, it will call it like this:

./yourscript [param1] [param2] [param3] [your-param4] [your- 
param5] ... [your-param11]

You can just use $4 in your script to access the value you placed  
there in the policy.  You may need to put the value in the policy in  
quotes -- try it both ways.  Also, a good script should make sure it  
has a value if it needs one, just in case the person who set up the  
policy forgot to provide it.

A great script for seeing what happens when you populate parameters is  
the BashExample.sh test script that you may've installed with Casper.   
I have attached the file for you.

Cheers,
Clinton
