Hi, I have a my script here--

print "The Perl Script does the User health check and system health ch
+eck...\n";
print "---------------------------------------------------------------

# use strict;
my($OS);
$OS = $^O;
# need to test @ARGV before GetOptions shifts it
if (@ARGV == 0) {
   print "\nNo options provided, using defaults (use -h to view option
+s)\n";
}

#GetOptions( 'h|help' => \$_help
        #   ,'u|userdata' => \$_userdata
        #   ,'s|systemdata' => \$_systemdata
         #  ,'a|authresponsecode' => \$_authresponsecode
         #  ,'o|outpur_dir' => \$_output_dir);
      
#if( $_help ) {
  # printUsage(); # automatically exits the program
#}
use Getopt::Std;

in function userData() i want to make changes so that my script take username as command line arguement and logfile name also to be entered from command line,it can be multiple log files. Please advice me how can i do that. Please do suggest me if you find something to be changed here to work it more efficiently. Thanks NT
