Hi:
Is there a way of knowing if a particular shell script is being executed
from crontab? If
there's no way to know if it was executed from crontab, can a particular shell
script determine if
it was executed via command line?
I want to achieve something like below
if executed from command line
then
# user can see the message at the same time it will be logged to a file
echo "...." | tee -a $LOG
else
# We didn't execute it from command line, most likely it got executed
via crontab
# no point in echoing to the terminal
echo "....." >> $LOG
fi
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Ludwig
