b.sh
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

thisFILE="$(whence ${0})"
thisDIR="$(dirname ${thisFILE})"
PROGNAME="${0##*/}"

WhereAmI="${thisDIR}"
echo "b: <${PROGNAME}> ${WhereAmI}"
Note: this works if a.sh and b.sh reside in the same direct. If b.sh is somewhere else, it returns a.sh location (and rightfully so). Need to think about that.
