Shell Script and Passing Variable

[saw15]

We run multiple shell scripts, but I would like to know how you can run the shell script, passing in a variable from the command line and then using the variable within the script.

Example:

$ myshellscript.sh (is currently how we call script).

I would like to pass script and dbName:
$ myshellscript.sh databaseName

With this passed, how do I reference the variable within the script?

Thanks in advance.

with $1, example:

hello.sh

#!/bin/ksh
echo Hello $1

Then:
$./hello.sh saw15

Hello saw15

Cheers.
