Here's something i didn't know.  Apparently, a program can find out
what sym link was called to run it:
soffice -> /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice*
spadmin -> /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice*
If i run soffice, i get soffice.  If i run spadmin, i get the
printer setup box.

The first parmiter passed to a program or script is always the program 
name, with path, if any.  Try this script.

#!/bin/bash
echo $0
Name is anything you like, make it executable, and try calling it using 
different path names.  (./script, /home/mikkel/bin/script, etc)
