moin moin,

a question on another list about determining which shell is currently
being used led to some nice answers.

I thought I'd post some here in that the answers might not only be useful,
but might lead to learning more about how things work.

ls -l /proc/$$/exe
readlink /proc/$$/exe
cat /proc/$$/cmdline
ps -p $$ 
ps | grep $$

If you haven't wandered around in proc you should check it out. If you
have, you should likely look again :).

/me looks again.

ciao,

der.hans
