in ruby what's the meaning of "$" before base ?
a way to get it as global var ?

Right, nice idae, i do have a folder "rb" in my HOME/bin where i put
some small ruby scripts like that and some ruby object extension such as
string.

quit frankly i was wrong i've believe the behaviour of shell scripts is
different then, i've made a riny test in zsh (my prefered shell) :

#!/usr/bin/env zsh
echo $0
exit 0

and i get, as for ruby :

~%> zsh echo_dollard_9.zsh
/Users/yvon/work/zsh/echo_dollard_0.zsh
