I do, yes:

#!/bin/sh
tempfile=`echo $* | awk '{print $1}'`
url=`echo $* | awk '{print $2}'`
elinks -dump $url > $tempfile


1.  You mean "$@" over $*.
2.  $() is more readable over backticks -- those shells which can't
understand that aren't worth worrying about.  Full stop.
3.  Use more quotes.  You should quote:

"$@"
"$url"
"$tempfile"

I note presumable since you're a Sun employee that you're using a
shell from the arc.  Oh dear.  See point 2 above if so.

Useful tip otherwise.
