Paul-
Have you tried telling gawk to use the script as input? I don't know
if it will have trouble ignoring the first line ("#!/bin/mawk") or not.
If so, you could use grep to make a temp copy without that line.
Anyway, maybe change the first line to "#!/bin/gawk -f $0" . You will
probably get an error, however, when gawk is finished and the rest of
the "script" tries to execute. Maybe you could clobber the existing
process by using some form of "exec" so that when gawk exits, the
process that was the script, terminates.
