Package: ssh
Version: 1:3.8.1p1-8.sarge.4
ssh-argv0 uses the bash specific "${parameter##word}" parameter
expansion in order to isolate the name it was invoked with:
if [ "${0##*/}" = "ssh-argv0" ]
then
[...]
fi
Calling basename(1) like this:
ARGV0="`basename ${0}`"
if [ "${ARGV0}" = "ssh-argv0" ]
then
[...]
fi
is portable. Do it once and there's hardly a performance hit.
The system is Debian3.1, with current "apt-get upgrade" applied.
Here is a patch (diff -u):
