Why I ask is: If a routine is launched from within the DE I would like it to display some info via a gui and if it were launched via a terminal then I would like the information printed out at the terminal. An example would be a progress bar. From the DE a nice gui progress bar shown and from the terminal just a textual output of percent complete.

I was looking for a system variable that had this info but could not find one. Hopefully there is a simple solution and I'm just not seeing it.
