Hi All,

In bash scripting is there a way to get

1) just the name of the script, no path,

_script_fn=$(basename $0)

Perfect. Thank you!


echo $_script_fn

no variables?

What do you mean by "no variables"?
In the script or the command line arguments $1, $2,...

if no variables in script, it would be

echo $(basename $0)

There's no need for an external command (see my previous post).

I mean the run line variables ($1 $2 etc.). And I was
mistaken. I thought $0 included then.

I still have to figure out how to get the
full path and name of the script.

You should have no need for that. If you do, you need to rethink
your script.
