Strange ... the other shebang-able programs (interpreters) I run (/bin/sh, perl) work like I described. That's something I expect to be standard operating procedure on any Unix (although I haven't spent much time outside Linux recently). Surely the interpreter in question doesn't have to do any magic to make it work? > I just read that on some systems perl allows you to rename the > process by assigning to $0: You shouldn't have to do that.
