Hi Sumatheja,
I'm guessing you want a script to run only once (did say whether it was per user). You could add your script to the .bashrc file - this way the script would run once when the user logs on. Alternatively run the script and export an environment variable - then check it using an if statement before you run the script again, eg;
if [ -n "$script-has-run-envar" ]; then <source_script> script-has-run-envar="Yes" export $script-has-run-envar fi
Check the lifecycle of the environment variable is what you need though.

Hi All, I'm can anyone let me know if there's some variable holding the value of the total number of terminals open. I have a requirement where i need to execute some script only first time a terminal is opened. I feel this is not the right place to post this but will be glad if someone can help me out.
