Can I get the absolute path to the current script in KornShell?

Question

Is it possible to find out the full path to the script that is currently executing in KornShell (ksh)?

i.e. if my script is in /opt/scripts/myscript.ksh

Answer 1

The variable $RPATH contains the relative path to the real file or the real path for a real file.

CURPATH=$( cd -P -- "$(dirname -- "$(command -v -- "$0")")" && pwd -P )

CURLOC=$CURPATH/`basename $0`

if [ `ls -dl $CURLOC |grep -c "^l" 2>/dev/null` -ne 0 ];then

    ROFFSET=`ls -ld $CURLOC|cut -d ">" -f2 2>/dev/null`

    RPATH=`ls -ld $CURLOC/$ROFFSET 2>/dev/null`

else

    RPATH=$CURLOC

fi

echo $RPATH
