check shell type in solaris 8 1

[hok1man]

Hi guys,

just wondering how to check shell type in solaris 8
I've tried

echo $0
result
No file for $0

but if I type bash and I check $0, the result came up.

but If I type csh
and I echo $0, result
No file for $0

any idea why?

echo $SHELL

The result doesn't look right

bash-2.03$ echo $SHELL
/bin/csh
bash-2.03$ echo $0
bash

I'm actually in bash
