I was surprised that *command-line-args* didn't include the script name, which would have solved my problem. Of course, my usage is a special case of the more general Unix trick of having programs vary their behavior based on the name they were invoked with. And I just realized another need for wanting the program name: how do I report the program name in error messages? That's probably what argv[0] is used for more than anything else. Maybe the concept "name the program was invoked with" doesn't make sense in a Java environment, what with having to have shell wrappers around AOT code before it can be run anyway. Since clojure code can be run as script, it might make sense there - if people distribute applications a scripts instead of AOT code. <mike -- Mike Meyer <m...@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
