Give arguments to executed script

Question

I have a first script getting arguments like this :

while getopts "m:t:r:zsqhc:" opt 2>/dev/null
do
    case ${opt} in
    m) machine=${OPTARG,^^}
    ;;
    t) [...];;
    .
    .

And so on. As you can see, some arguments need a value (like a string or a number), and some other don't.

This script then calls two other scripts, which need the same arguments. I would like to know how to give those scripts the arguments.

Thanks in advance !

With Shift you can account for arguments with and without values

Save your arguments (or a subset) in a variable to pass them to your other scripts.

Thanks a lot. I did it this way : tmp="" while (( "$#" )); do tmp="$tmp $1" shift done echo $tmp It returned me a string with all the arguments in the order I gave to my test script. I'm sorry the comment doesn't want to get the return char.
