I have gnome-terminal and Guake installed. I want to give different startup messages to be displayed on these terminal emulators as they start. What code should I write in .bashrc so that this is achieved?
This function should do the job:
container() {
pid=$$
while true; do
pid=$(ps -h -o ppid -p $pid 2>/dev/null)
case $(ps -h -o comm -p $pid 2>/dev/null) in
(gnome-terminal) echo "Running in gnome terminal";return;;
(xterm) echo "Running in xterm";return;;
(rxvt) echo "Running in rxvt";return;;
(python) if [ ! -z "$(ps -h -o args -p $pid 2>/dev/null | grep guake)" ]; then echo "Running in Guake"; return; fi ;;
esac
[[ $(echo $pid) == 1 ]] && break
done
}
container
