I know $0 means shell script name ,but how to just show script itself,not /xxx/.../scriptname. Thanks in advance

Code:
basename $0
See man basename for details.

Edit: without invoking an external command, you can also do
Code:
echo "${0##*/}"
this remove from $0 the longest part of the pattern */ (any sequence of characters followed by a slash) from the beginning of the string.
