hi - is it possible to have some kind of fancy links that
know the name of the process that is trying to access
it, and based on its name, it links it to a file?
Short answer... YES! Now convince the developers to use it. Here's a
trivial example...
* Create a 2-line executable script "foo"
#!/bin/bash
echo "${0}"
* Create a symlink with the command "ln -s foo bar"
* Execute "./foo" and the output will be "./foo"
* Execute "./bar" and the output will be "./bar"
That makes a distinction based on the name by which the script was
called, not on the name of the calling script. Caveman Al, have I
misunderstood what your are asking for?
