Dear R-users!

Is there a way to obtain the name of the executed myscript.r, i.e. when

cmd> rscript myscript.r

is executed? (The name of the script in this case is "myscript.r")

Here is the explanation of why I would like to get that: Why: I have
prepared a set of scripts (decompose_data.r, plot_with_higher_resolution.r,
plot_3D.r, etc.) placed in a root directory at one place. I keep updated
only one original of each. For each new dataset, I create a new directory in
my directory tree, and I copy r scripts with the same names containing a
line for executing the only one, e.g.

source(file.path("w:/data & fits/root4scripts", "decompose_data.r"))

This way I can execute old datasets with new/updated scripts automatically
(by executing all decompose_data.r in the directory tree), or by copying new
"links".r to the directory. A small inconvenience of this way of executing
is, that ones named, it is hard to change the name of the script. Therefore
I would like to introduce a function that reads the name of the scriptname
executed somewhere deep in my directory tree and executes the proper
script.r in the root. If anybody read till here, please: Is there a more
convenient/straightforward way how manage more scripts through a directory
tree with datasets and keeping them altogether updated?

Thanks for listening, Zroutik
