I wrote a small utility to solve the problem for myself. With the mongoexec utility, you would be able to run the command ./remove_audits.js arg1 arg2 by adding the following to the beginning of your script:

#!/usr/bin/mongoexec --quiet

Within the script, you can then access the arguments as args[0] and args[1].

(repost from MongoDB User email)

There's no way to get the arguments to look exactly like that, but what you can do is use --eval to pass arguments to your scripts.

Ex:
mongo --quiet --eval 'let arg1="foo", arg2="bar";' remove_audits.js

You can also take a look at this script that I wrote to see an example of how it's done.
