Is it possible to determine – from within the script – whether the script is running in the R-GUI (specifically R.app on OS X) or whether it has been called from Terminal/command line (i.e. R --vanilla -f script.R)? If so, how is this possible?

I’m asking because I have a script that can run parallelized (using the doMC library), which should not be used from the GUI. Sometimes I need to further process the data calculated in the script, so I’d like to call the script from the GUI on these occasions.
