How can I find the location of the tcsh shell script I'm executing?
In c shell, try like this:
set rootdir = `dirname $0`
set abs_rootdir = `cd $rootdir && pwd`
echo $abs_rootdir
If you want to ensure the same result (full path and script name) try something like this:
...
rootdir=`/bin/dirname $0` # may be relative path
rootdir=`cd $rootdir && pwd` # ensure absolute path
zero=$rootdir/`/bin/basename $0`
echo $zero
...
Then you can call it as foo.sh, ./foo.sh, some/lower/dir/foo.sh and still get the same result no matter how it is called.
If you want an absolute path then this should help you out:
#!/bin/tcsh -f
set called=($_)
if ( "$called" != "" ) then ### called by source
echo "branch 1"
set script_fn=`readlink -f $called[2]`
else ### called by direct execution of the script
echo "branch 2"
set script_fn=`readlink -f $0`
endif
echo "A:$0"
echo "B:$called"
set script_dir=`dirname $script_fn`
echo "script file name=$script_fn"
echo "script dir=$script_dir"
