Which script/shell/program launched a given script?
Dear gurus,
I was wondering if anybody can help.
Is it possible to distinguish whether a script was launched from a shell (interactively) or was called from another script?
I basically need to do the following: if the script was run from the command line, I want to enable logging of the script into a file. If the script is called via another script, I do not wish to have any specific logging at all; instead I would like all std output and errors to be logged by the calling script's log
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]

The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
