Hm, I fail to see how this works if I start a bash script from bash login shell, PS1 is unset just as $- doesn't contain an i, what am I missing?: # PS1='# ' # cat >s <<\EOT > #!/bin/bash > test -z "$PS1" && echo unset || echo "$PS1" > echo $- > EOT # chmod 700 s # ./s unset hB # Wouldn't it be better to check for the environment provided by sysvinit (RUNLEVEL, PREVLEVEL, INIT_VERSION), or to check $PPID?
