myfunc() {
echo "hello from myfunc"
echo "I am called from $0" # that outputs the name of the current function
# not the caller of the function :-((

myfunc() {
echo "hello from myfunc"
echo "Caller script: $1"

# and I'd like that myfunc echos the caller script!!!
#!/bin/sh

source ./utils

myfunc $( basename $0 )
#---------------------- end caller script
