Because $0 inside a function is not the same as outside the function. Outside it is the name of the script, as you noticed and inside the function it is the function's positional parameters.
Besides that I can't see where you call this function at all so you might want to write something like:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

usage()
{
  scriptname=$1
  # $1 is the 1st parameter handed over by calling the function (down there the $0 in this case), which is the name of the script
  echo "$scriptname -cs <number of batches>\n"

  exit 1
}

usage $0

exit 0

REGISTER_SHUTDOWN_FUNCTION(3)						 1					     REGISTER_SHUTDOWN_FUNCTION(3)

register_shutdown_function - Register a function for execution on shutdown

SYNOPSIS
void register_shutdown_function (callable $callback, [mixed $parameter], [mixed $...]) DESCRIPTION
Registers a $callback to be executed after script execution finishes or exit(3) is called. Multiple calls to register_shutdown_function(3) can be made, and each will be called in the same order as they were registered. If you call exit(3) within one registered shutdown function, processing will stop completely and no other registered shutdown functions will be called. PARAMETERS
o $callback - The shutdown callback to register. The shutdown callbacks are executed as the part of the request, so it's possible to send output from them and access output buffers. o $parameter - It is possible to pass parameters to the shutdown function by passing additional parameters. o $... - RETURN VALUES
No value is returned. ERRORS
/EXCEPTIONS If the passed callback is not callable a E_WARNING level error will be generated. EXAMPLES
Example #1 register_shutdown_function(3) example <?php function shutdown() { // This is our shutdown function, in // here we can do any last operations // before the script is complete. echo 'Script executed with success', PHP_EOL; } register_shutdown_function('shutdown'); ?> NOTES
Note Working directory of the script can change inside the shutdown function under some web servers, e.g. Apache. Note Shutdown functions will not be executed if the process is killed with a SIGTERM or SIGKILL signal. While you cannot intercept a SIGKILL, you can use pcntl_signal(3) to install a handler for a SIGTERM which uses exit(3) to end cleanly. SEE ALSO
