Subject: Getting the original file path on argument

Hi all, I have a little ruby script that accepts a file name as a
parameter. Given the company standards, the script has to be deployed on
a specific "bin" folder. It has a cryptic name so a more "human" symlink
was created on the same folder, let's call it "run_process". I ended up
with something like this:

some_path/bin/run_process
some_path/bin/cryptic_ruby_script.rb

The "some_path/bin" appears on the path of the user but every time he
runs the script he has to provide the expanded file name otherwise the
script will try to find the file on some_path/bin folder.

Is there a way to avoid this by just executing "run_process my_file" ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Daniel
