Is it possible to determine - from within the script - whether the script is running in the R-GUI (specifically R.app on OS X) or whether it has been called from Terminal/command line (i.e. R --vanilla -f script.R)? If so, how is this possible?
I'm asking because I have a script that can run parallelized (using the doMC library), which should not be used from the GUI. Sometimes I need to further process the data calculated in the script, so I'd like to call the script from the GUI on these occasions.

You need the ? Rscript command to run an R script from the terminal.
Starting R If R has been installed properly, simply entering R on the command line of a terminal should start the program. In Windows, the program is typically specified as the action performed when clicking on an icon.
You can run R from the command line.
Perhaps you are looking for interactive()?

In C, you would use the isatty function. If you could find an equivalent function in R (probably in a UNIX or file system library), that should help.
