checking if in interactive shell

checking if in interactive shell

[Timothy J. Luoma]

Ok, in csh I'd check for interactive shell via this:

if( ${?prompt} ) then
	(do stuff)
endif

how do I do this in zsh?

Thanks!

  Doh!  What's wrong with:

  if [[ -o interactive ]]; then
    # We're interactive!
  fi

I would do it like this :

case "$-" in
*i*) interactive ;;
*) not interactive ;;
esac
