Well, I did remember discussing something similar in the past - here's the relevant thread.

Here's the modified test harness:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
# path to the script - includes if the script has been SOURCED: ". ./scriptPath.sh"
#
#set -x

#echo "\$0 ->[${0}] \$# -> [${#}] \$.sh.file-> [${.sh.file}] "
#thisFile="$(whence ${0})"
case "${0}" in
   -bash) thisFile="${BASH_SOURCE}"
          ;;
   *ksh) thisFile="${.sh.file}"
          ;;
   *)
      #thisFile="$(type -P ${0})"
      thisFile="$(whence ${0})"
      ;;
esac

echo "this file->[${thisFile}]"

Now it works for both: bash and ksh - when sourced OR executed.
Don,
I left the shebang so that the script could be either sourced OR executed.
