I can think of a few tests, but since none of my machines have dash, I
can't guarantee they will work....
You can write the name of the script into a variable, and compare that
with the value of '$0'. If they match, then the script was executed; if
not, it was sourced:
#!/bin/sh
. $HOME/script1.sh full
. ./script1.sh relative
sh $HOME/script1.sh exec
#! /bin/sh
self=script1.sh
called=`basename $0`
if [ "$self" != "$called" ]; then
echo "I am sourced: $@"
else
echo "I am executed: $@"
fi
]$ sh script2.sh
I am sourced: full
I am sourced: relative
I am executed: exec
Your problem sounds like a bug in dash.
