Hi,

Is there any way for a program to know whether or not it has been started
via something like `xterm -e command'? More generally, I would like to know
if the program will be able to successfully suspend itself without whatever
program that exec'd it (e.g., xterm) exiting upon SIGTSTP. If the program
cannot suspend, I would like to start up an interactive subshell.

Thanks,
--John
