>Barry, it works flawlessly. Thanks immensely!
You are very welcome.
But I forgot to export ThisTerm, otherwise it is always unset when
a subshell is launched.
# Only set ThisTerm if not set.
if [ -z "${ThisTerm}" ]
then
if [ ${PPID} = 1 ]
then
ThisTerm=cmd
else
if [ "$(cat /proc/${PPID}/exename)" = '/usr/bin/mintty' ]
then
ThisTerm=mintty
else
# not minty, not cmd, so xterm
ThisTerm=xterm
fi
fi
export ThisTerm
fi
One could test exename for /usr/bin/xterm instead of assigning by
the process of elimination.
