i think you can also do it using the "test -t" but can't seem to figure out the syntax - has anyone done this?

test -t is used to test if a file descriptor is pointing to a tty device:
if [ -t 0 ] ; then echo this will go to a tty fi It is one of the few things that a double bracket test cannot do. fuser and lsof are the only programs that can do this. If you don't have lsof, get it. Or live without the capability.
