i have a homework:
The student should write a bash program named fix-permissions.sh that accepts a list of users as argument
If a user or more are given as arguments, the script should reset files permissions as follows....
"accepts a list of users as argument"
can someone explain it to me please?
That means if you input fix-permissions.sh user1 user2 user3
on the command line, your script will process these 3 users. In your script, you go through these arguments using $@
eg
for u in "$@"
do
echo "$u"
done
please see man page on POSITIONAL PARAMETERS for more information
Positional parameters. $1
, $2
, $3
, $@
, etc.
