moin, moin... Is it possible for a program to detect, whether it was started from the Terminal or by Icon-Click ? It doesn't matter, what Terminal (bash/muterm) or which Tracker. In the bash I can use a script: ====== #! /bin/sh alert --info $TERM ok ====== It gives my "dumb" when started by doubleclick or "beterm" when started from bash. Is this "system-variable" $term also readable from an app so that the app can decide, whether it was started from terminal or tracker ? Or is there a better way to get this infornation ? TIA... scholly
