Thank you. I was relying on the readers to consult the
manual on -t (especially since I didn't say whether a true
or false value from -t meant "running from cron"). But
that was a pretty poor assumption on my part.
Reading between the lines of the question, I got the
impression that the stuff going to STDOUT was meant only
to be seen by interactive users, which is why I suggested
-t STDOUT. Thinking on it more, I think a
better test for this case is -t STDERR so that
script <input | more would be considered
"interactive" while the cron case specifically stated that
STDERR was redirected to a file.
