Re: [PLUG] Determining when a shell script is sourced

["K.S. Bhaskar" <ksbhaskar@gmail.com>]

Thanks for the ideas. I'll see what I can make work and get back with what I come up with. The problem is not about leaking into the shell, it is about protecting against user error – the script unfortunately closes the shell session if sourced, which it does not do if run as a script.

In bash, at least, you can do things like "unset -f" to get rid of
functions, "type -t" to check for existing functions so you don't
replace them, etc.
