In Mac OS X, from a shell script application's point of view, how can I get its bundle directory path for use in a shell script? When using the env command, it returns that the app's execution path is /, and no environment variable helps. I'm doing this because I would like to access some resources of the bundle, and because the app is not always installed in /Applications.
Thanks!

DIR=$(cd "$(dirname "$0")"; pwd)will give the shell script's directory name. For a shell script app, this will be/path/to/Your shell script application.app/Contents/MacOS.
