We had a fairly long discussion about this on TCLUG (Twin Cities) and I
thought you guys also would find it interesting and informative. It
started with this question about bash scripting:
I'm trying to find a variable or a command that will tell me where
the currently executing script lives.
I'll take a stab:
$cat foo.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo $0
Although I suspect this is not what you are looking for.
Well, you are on the right track but we want the full path. Your method
works if the full path was given on the command line or if the file was in
the path (the latter fact surprised me). Examples where "echo $0" won't
work:
./foo.sh
../local/bin/foo.sh
