I have a script file, let's say abc.sh. The full path is /home/path/to/script/abc.sh. Now I am currently executing the script from /path/to/current by executing this command -
sh /home/path/to/script/abc.sh. I want this script to echo it's location. The output should be /home/path/to/script

Use this script.
#!/bin/bash
current_location=$(pwd)
script_location=$(dirname $0)
if [ $script_location= '.' ]
then
script_location="$current_location"
fi
echo $script_location

1@Cryptopat I think no, he can use pwd if he is running the script from the directory where the script is stored..it won't work in another location – Vishnu T S Jan 19 '18 at 19:06
