In some of the programs and (csh) scripts that I write, I would like to take
different action depending on whether the program or script is exectuing in
the foreground or background.
I was wondering if any of you could provide a (hopefully) simple answer
to the following question:
Is there anyway a C program can determine if it is being executed in
the foreground vs. background (via **env or some other mechanism)?
Is there a similar mechanism for C-shell (csh) scripts?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Larry Ader
