Hi, I have a program I am writing that stops and asks the user for input, in this case it's a passphrase used to encrypt output.
I want the program to also be able to be used in a script, and if in a script use a predefined value as the passphrase. What I'd like to know is how to detect if running in a script or not. I've tried something like this: runPid := os.Getpid() parPid := os.Getppid() val := runPid - parPid //normally I check if runPid is > parPid in my code. if val < 20 { fmt.Println("Not running in a script") } This works, but only if the script ran quickly. Wondering if there is a better way to do this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
