  11.   Sorry if this is not the right group for this but;
  12. I have a process that the users might run in the background.
  13. I would like the process to determine if it is running in 
  14. the background so that I can suppress messages to stdout.
  15. Anyone have any ideas?

  17. Thanks in advance.
