Help with Handling multiple argument in shell script

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi i have written a shell script that takes only single ip address from the user and calculates its latency and reliability, can you please tell me that what should be done if i want that user should enter 100 or 1000 ip address

You should probably repeat what you're doing within a loop. But no one will be able to provide you with more specific advice since you neglected to share your code.

"User should enter 100 or 1000 IP addresses" - by this statement, do you mean user provides 100's of IP addresses in the form of a file? If so, then wrap the logic you have for one IP address into a while block and repeat the same for each IP address read from the file.
