how to pass command line arguments to mongo shell script

[Srimonti]

I would like to do

./mongo dbname myscript.js --myparam value

where myparam would be passed to myscript as a command line argument.

Is this possible?


Thanks,
Srimonti

There isn't a way currently but its something we want to add.
Can you make a jira case @ jira.mongodb.org to ensure we don't forget :)

may be quick workaround is to call mongodb script from external
scripting language like perl/python/ruby/bash, which will do
pre-processing.

Thanks Eliot. I will do that.

Worth a try. Thanks Raxit.

Another workaround is to combine --eval with your JavaScript file on
the command line, for example:

$ cat addthem.js
printjson( param1 + param2 );
$ ./mongo --nodb --quiet --eval "var param1=7, param2=8" addthem.js
