Juts to expand on what dangral said , POSIX states $0 is the name of the shell script
* If you invoke the shell script as "./shellscript", then $0 will be "./shellscript" * If you invoke the shell script as "/home/mpf/shellscript", then $0 will be "/home/mpf/shellscript" One caveat, however, is that if you define functions in ksh using the function funcname { .... } syntax then $0 will be set to the function name, not the name of the shell script.
