Re: path_lookup for executable

["e m" <eyubo@hotmail.com>]

Thanks for response. Is there any other way to identify if "current"  is a 
certain program  such as java.  You cannot surely go by name (comm field of 
task_struct). Since  It could be linked. In another word, I want to identify 
the executing current program. Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Eyub
