There is a subtle difference between ParamStr(0) and argv[0]: argv[0] is the verbatim command passed to the shell. ParamStr(0) is the full path to the executable.
Neither of these will dereference a symlink, to do that you can call ReadLink recursively, or ReadLink(/proc/<PID>/exe) Also note that the argv's are zero-based pchar's, the paramstr's are one-based pascal strings. The argv's are also writeable: This works: argv[0][1]:='x'; But this doesn't: ParamStr(0)[1]:='x'; __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
