Actually there are three states I want to base some conditional execution
on.
I can do this now based on feeding the script a command-line argument.
But I'm wanting to have the script itself determine if:
1) It's running in a VT such as found in runlevel 3 or via ctrl+alt+F1
in runlevel 5.
2) It's running in an "xterm", "konsole", "aterm", or (ANY other x based
terminal window).
3) It's not attached to a terminal or VT (such as might happen if the
script was called from alt+F2 run prompt).
How can a bash script test it's environment for these three different
conditions???
Please! and Thank you!
