Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Getting Function Name At Runtime Post 35905 by oombera on Tuesday 13th of May 2003 10:28:27 AM

All the documentation I could find says that $0 will always give the name of the script - not the function - no matter how deep inside a function it lies.. and yet when I copied your script and ran it in ksh, $0 inside a function returned the name of the function! However, when I ran it in bash, it returned the name of the script like all the documentation says it should..
Code:
get_abc( ){
 echo $0
}

echo "Calling get_abc"
get_abc
exit 0

NAME
service - run a System V init script SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS] service --status-all service --help | -h | --version DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with current working directory set to /. The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the invoked script, service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS it to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and stop commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start command. service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command. EXIT CODES
service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it. FILES
/etc/init.d The directory containing System V init scripts. ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM The only environment variables passed to the init scripts. SEE ALSO
/etc/init.d/skeleton, update-rc.d(8), init(8), invoke-rc.d(8). Jan 2006 service(8)
