Hello,

ludo@gnu.org (Ludovic Court=C3=A8s) skribis:

> $ sh -c 'exec -a FOO /gnu/store/6vmniz83k46l8jpry50wdvwxsncz1r5w-khal-0.7=
.0/bin/.khal-wrap-01  --version'
> .khal-real, version 0.7.0

What happens is that =E2=80=98exec -a=E2=80=99 is doesn=E2=80=99t work when=
 the wrapped program
is a script.

This is because, when invoked via a shebang (or when passed the file
name of a script), interpreters receive the file name of the script as
argv[1], and then typically shift argv to the left (argv[1] becomes
argv[0] etc.)

AFAICS there=E2=80=99s no generic solution to this problem.  :-/

Ludo=E2=80=99.
