Hi.
If the variable SHELL, has not been set by your current shell, then you could try:
provided your shell interprets $$ as the PID (process ID) for the current process (acceptable in tcsh, bash, zsh). There are exceptions, for example:Code:ps | grep $$
for the rc shellCode:ps | grep $pid
... cheers, drl
