shell file $10 parameter

Normally you don't have a shell file that calls a java program with 10 parameters but I had a migration script had 10 arguments and I kept getting first parameter in the 10th argument as shell was seeing $10 and it was passing first param concatenated with 0. The solution is to enclose all parameters > 9 with curly brackets.

so use something like

$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -verbose:gc -Duser.timezone=GMT -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -server -Xms512m -Xmx2048m com.xxx.NoSql2MysqlMigrator $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 ${10} ${11} ${12}

instead of

$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -verbose:gc -Duser.timezone=GMT -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -server -Xms512m -Xmx2048m com.xxx.NoSql2MysqlMigrator $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 $10 $11 $12
