I didn't want to manually run separate recovers, by typing in the 
parameters 12 times. However, other things came up, and this ended up 
being fast enough (since I only had to type in one script name, to get it 
all done).

To do one command, I would have had to do "recover -S ssid#1 -S ssid#2" 
etc. That would have been ideal, but I didn't have enough time to iron 
that out (without typing in all those ssids). Being severely 
short-staffed, I had to move onto other things. So this let me type just 
one command, and if it was slower than one recover command with 12 ssids 
passed to it as one block of parameters, it was still Good Enough.
