How do I get the script name being executed in bash?

bash shell .bash-profile

Try:

readlink -f ${BASH_SOURCE[0]}

or just:

${BASH_SOURCE[0]}.

Remarks:

$0 only works when user executes "./script.sh"

$BASH_ARGV only works when user executes ". script.sh" or "source script.sh"

${BASH_SOURCE[0]} works on both cases.

readlink -f is useful when symbolic link is used.

bash shell .bash-profile

The variable BASH_ARGV should work, it appears the script is being sourced

$BASH_ARGV

bash shell .bash-profile

create .sh file lets say view.sh then put

#!/bin/bashecho "The script is being executed..."readlink -f ${BASH_SOURCE[0]}
