Converting lowercase into Initcap on Unix 1

[skuthe]

Hi,
Can anyone help me to convert a parameter, supplied to a unix script, from lowercase to Initcap.
I tried using tr but could not get this done in a single command.

f.eg:
====
My shell script is test.com, I run this script with a parameter ...

$test.com diamond

The result I expect is Diamond

Pl. help.
Thanks.

var=`echo $1 | awk '{print toupper(substr($1,1,1)) tolower(substr($1,2))}'`

Hope This Helps, PH.
