I have a few Windows Services written in C# that I have setup to support being run from the command line as a console app if a specific parameter is passed. Works great but I would love to be able to detect whether the app is being run by the service control mananger or from a command line.

Is there any way to tell at runtime if my app was started by the SCM?

    Environment.UserInteractive will return false if the process is running under the SCM.
