No, I didn't know that. It's interesting, but unfortunately I can't use 
that. I need to be able to kill the script via "killall script.sh" and 
after the exec, script.sh isn't there anymore. I could use 'exec -a 
script.sh', but the killall command won't work either...

But thanks for the 'exec' tip, I learned something new :)
