It is:
if [ $# -eq 0 ] then echo "No arguments supplied" fi
The $#
variable will tell you the number of input arguments the script was passed.
Or you can check if an argument is an empty string or not like:
if [ -z "$1" ]
then
echo "No argument supplied"
fi
The -z
switch will test if the expansion of "$1" is a null string or not. If it is a null string then the body is executed.
