Anyone have any clever, VERY reliable tricks for detecting if the

Hope, i think you can get from `/proc/$$/exe' ?
That would only work on systems that have /proc/$$/exe. Some of the
systems I'm running on (HP-UX, for example) don't even have /proc.
(As a general comment to the replies I've seen:)
I guess I am looking for a test that only uses shell built-ins. Anything
else makes assumptions about the environment and system that can't
always be counted on.
