Bash menu in bash with getopts

A little more sophisticated script than the former bash menu example to get some arguments from command line.

#!/bin/bash


while getopts "u:p:" opt; do
  case $opt in

u)

echo "-u was triggered, Parameter: $OPTARG"

dbuser="$OPTARG"

;;

p)

echo "-p was triggered, Parameter: $OPTARG"

dbpass="$OPTARG"

;;

\?)

echo "Invalid option: -$OPTARG"

exit 1

;;

:)

echo "Option -$OPTARG requires an argument."

exit 1

;;

esac
done
# Clear all options and reset the command line

shift $(( OPTIND -1 ))

# First parameter if [ -z "$1" ]; then echo "usage: $0 [-u name] [-p password] file" exit fi
