Hi,
check the parent processes. It is started by cron if there is the cron
process in the process tree. The process ID of perl is $$.
Have a look on output of ps command to create the process tree.
But it could be that a command line option used for call by crontab is
easier to implement and easier to debug.

Hi Perl Gurus,
Is there a way to tell if a Perl script has been run by the UNIX
cronjob instead of someone running the script manually from the command
prompt? Thanks!
