Shifting positional parameter in Linux fedora core ?
Hi I have written following shell script for display value
of positional. But in 11th and 12 field will display without
shifting command. May I know is it advance of Linux of
programming code error?
#!/usr/bin/bash
echo "Bellow is the out of ps command"
echo "`ps`"
echo "The passing Parameter i.e output of \$1,2... value
is:==> $11 "
echo "Total number of passed argument \$# is:==> $#"
echo "Passed argument names (\$*) are:==>$*"
echo "This script PID(\$$) is :=>$$"
echo "The name of executing script(\$0) is :==>$0"
echo "The Parent ID of this script(\$PPID) is:==>$PPID"

And my input to this script is
./scriptname arg1 arg2 arg3 arg4 arg5 arg6 arg7 arg8 arg9
arg10 arg11 arg12
Output Is
Bellow is the out of ps command
PID TTY TIME CMD
2892 pts/0 00:00:00 bash
3172 pts/0 00:00:00 positional_para
3173 pts/0 00:00:00 ps
The passing Parameter i.e output of $1,2... value is:==> arg11
Total number of passed argument $# is:==> 13
Passed argument names ($*) are:==>arg1 arg2 arg3 arg4 arg5
arg6 arg7 arg8 arg9 arg10 arg11 arg12 arg13
This script PID($$) is :=>3172
The name of executing script($0) is :==>./positional_parameter
The Parent ID of this script($PPID) is:==>2892

After the ps output please see the next line I.e $11 value
comes out without shifting the parameter. How is it give me
my friends
