As one can see, the variables MAX_MS, OFFSET_MS, THREADS, RAMP and LOOPS are hardcoded inside this ssh remote command. Question: How can I pass arguments on command line with test.sh such that variables MAX_MS, OFFSET_MS, THREADS, RAMP and LOOPS could receive the argument parameters as opposed to hardcoding the numbers ? Any help is appreciated.
