My [not so] secret knowledge

How do I find the name of the current shell that I am working in
There is a command that will work on all platforms I tested (HP-UX, SunOS, Linux, MacOS) and shells (sh,ksh,bash,csh,zsh)
ps -p $$ | grep $$ | awk '{ print $NF }'
Be aware that the shell name can be bash or -bash
