How can I tell, from within a script, whether it is being run as

One way would be to test the value of $0. If it ends in "myscript",
your script was run as "myscript". If your script was sourced, the
value of $0 will be the name of your shell.
As an example, you could put something like this in your script:
if [ "${0##*/}" = "myscript" ]
then
echo "Running as a sub-shell"
else
echo "Being sourced"
fi
Thankyou! I can use that one way or another. Should have thought of it
myself really - I blame old age.
