Programs actually *can* be written to honor the name with which they are called, e.g. joe does. lux:~> file /usr/bin/joe /usr/bin/jmacs /usr/bin/joe: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped /usr/bin/jmacs: symbolic link to joe Try running those two -- their shortcuts are quite different...
