Re: Telling whether a job is interactive

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It isn't clear why he needs to know if it is interactive.  If the reason 
is so that he can tell whether or not to open a display file, he could 
try opening the display file and monitor for errors.   If an error, then 
it is batch.
