Well, you got me all enthused, sigh :-(.
Which requires a path. The objective (here) is not to put the scripts on a
path because they are transient and using PATH would be overkill. So:
./ Which does indeed provide a path ('.'). But so
does dirname $0.
source scripts/ Which can't fi

In your 2nd example there is no script that is running. The
commands in the script are read as though you typed them in from
the terminal -- which means there is no "scriptname" to find
the name of.
You could check if $0 is equal to a shell name and g
