I have to determine the directory of a script which is symlinked.

/usr/local/src/myscript/myscript.sh
/usr/local/bin/myscript.sh (Symlink to the one above)

A cronjob executes /usr/local/bin/myscript.sh. Inside myscript.sh I am trying to determine where the original location is (which is /usr/local/src/myscript/ in this case). How to do that?

The solution is 

$( cd "$( dirname "`readlink ${BASH_SOURCE[0]}`" )" && pwd )
