Passing the entire command line
While bash can retrieve the different commandline values using the variables $1, $2, $3, etc - is there a way to just read out them all at once (with spaces between the values).
I use startup scripts for many of my games, and I want the script to pass through command line options at the end (for connecting to servers, etc).

The special variable $* (dollar-sign asterisk) contains ALL of the positional parameters, regardless of how many they are. This is obiviously useful when you do not know how many variables will be passed. The variable $0 stands for the actual command. More details can be found here:
