Hi Nicolai,
Yes, I think this is too ugly:
#!/usr/bin/gawk {exit system("/bin/sh -c 'exec \"$(dirname
\"$0\")\"/subdir/catself \"$0\"' " FILENAME);}
Imagine you have that feature in your kernel would you rather use:
#!{dirname}/subdir/catself
You second advice involves changing root fs which is not desirable in
copy-deployment apps (bring all the dependencies)
This more about making kernel "user" friendly.
Thank you.
