    hpux-admins:

    I want to process a variable number of arguments to a ksh script one at a
    time:

            ksh script.ksh arg1 agr2 ... argN

    where:

            ##
            # script.ksh
            #

            for each argument
            do
                    symdev -sid -XXX -sa 03b write_disable $ARGX -noprompt
            done

    where $ARGX is each argument 1 to N one at a time.

    How does one do that?

    I don't know how many there will be at each call. There must be one
    minimum.

    I think you do this with "shift", somehow....

            Stuart
