Is there any variable in bash that contains the name of the .sh file executed? The line number would be great too.
I want to use it in error messages such as:
<
#!/bin/bash
echo $LINENO
echo `basename $0`
$LINENO for the current line number
$0 for the current file. I used basename to ensure you only get the file name and not the path.
UPDATE:
#!/bin/bash
MY_NAME=`basename $0`
function ouch {
echo "Fail @ [${MY_NAME}:${1}]"
exit 1
}
ouch $LINENO
You have to pass the line as a parameter if you use the function approach else you will get the line of the function definition.
