	First of all: do you want to know if you're running in the background,
	or if you're running interactively? If you're deciding whether or
	not you should print prompts and the like, that's probably a better
	criterion. Check if standard input is a terminal:

		sh: if [ -t 0 ]; then ... fi
		C: if(isatty(0)) { ... }
