Custome Script Question

[BryanE]

I am trying to create a scripts where you multipul things for and example

Restart Apache
Restart FTP
ETC all in a script where if i type in somthing like

./program -restart -apache
it will restart only apache

./program - restart - ftp
it will restart ftp

./program -restart -apache-ftp
it will restart both

is there a tutorial that that teaches these if then commands and other necessary things in order to make somthing like this? is it possible?

i am pretty new to linux so this may sound dum for all i know lol. sorry if it is.
