Thank you radoulov.
$0 will only give me the path to the file as the user called it. If my script is in the PATH, the user will call it by it's bare name and I will not be able to know the full path to it. I will study $BASH_SOURCE. What do you mean by (bash >= 3 only)?
Thank you Scrutinizer.
Same explanation as above. If the user calls my script by its bare name, dirname $0 will output nothing.
Hello chebarbudo,
Have you tried calling calling it "by it's bare name". If the script is somewhere in the search path then $0 should return the actual path to the script. Anyway, I a still not sure I understand what you mean. I think what you mean is to have a simple script that returns the absoute path to itself?
Should always do that I think..
If that is not what you mean could you state what you are looking for exactly?
Hi-

Hi,
I just want to know any code by which i can get the path of the script which i am running. This is required to store the output in the same directory from where the script is running. pwd fails if I give absolute path of script from some other directory.
Thanks in advance

build-lives-rfx-plugin
build-lives-rfx-plugin(1) General Commands Manual build-lives-rfx-plugin(1)NAME
build-lives-rfx-plugin - builds rendered effects for LiVES
SYNOPSIS
build-lives-rfx-plugin script_name [plugin_dir] -get section file
DESCRIPTION
This perl script is used by LiVES to compile an RFX (rendered effect) plugin for LiVES. It is generally called from build-lives-rfx-plugin-
multi for a script which has a language code representing LiVES-perl. The script_name must be the full (absolute) path to the plugin
script, and plugin_dir can be used to specify the output directory where the compiled plugin should be generated. If plugin_dir is not
defined then /tmp is assumed.
The second variant with -get is used to print out a script section from a plugin script to stdout. It is generally only used internally by
LiVES.
Return values The script returns the following values
0 - success 1 - the value of a trigger was greater than the number of parameters 2 - a value could not be read from the script file 3 - the
language code of the plugin script was not equivalent to LiVES-perl 4 - the API version level of the plugin script was invalid 5 - the
<define> section was missing from the plugin script
