Exact same question here: https://sourceforge.net/p/gambas/mailman/message/34204796/ If I may add something to the things said in the above thread: you could try to get the parent PID of your Gambas process and determine if it's the IDE. If you always run on Linux you can probably use the /proc filesystem to get the path to the executable of your parent process or its command line. Then it depends on if you want to trust that the user always installs the IDE as "gambas3.gambas", for instance. Examining the parent process will probably not work anymore if you run your process *from the IDE* but through gb.httpd or through xterm (which are options in the IDE). I'm convinced that no matter how you try to detect if you're run by the IDE or not, someone can create an environment where your test gives the wrong answer. I still stand by my statement from two years ago: you shouldn't care where your program is run from in the first place. What problem are you trying to solve by knowing that?
