Check if script run by a user directly or via other scripts

Hi,
i have a script 'a.sh' that should be called only by certain scripts like b.sh, c.sh

Inside a.sh, how can i determine
1) if this script was run directly from command prompt (or scheduler)
2) if called via other scripts?

Is there an easy way to get parent process name (not just pid), other than doing ps -ef

Thanks,
-srinivas yelamanchili
