Thank you to all who responded with words of wisdom to my questions regarding scripting. What I have learned is that one cannot (or at least should not) try and manipulate the variables ($1, $2, etc.) assigned to command line arguments directly. Also, to test a variable for a null string, use the "-z" option. Anyway, I completed my first simple script to run webalizer stats on virtual webs by passing the web name to the script on the command line.
