How can I get the name of the current terminal from command-line?
- by Xubu-Tur
Is there a possibility to get the type of terminal with a command?
If I'm using gnome-terminal the output should be gnome-terminal or something similar. It would be also nice to get the version of the terminal.
Update
ps -aux | grep `ps -p $$ -o ppid=`
will output something like this:
user 4239 0.0 0.7 292708 15744 pts/8 Sl 11:39 0:02 xfce4-terminal
user 4800 0.0 0.0 6176 820 pts/0 S+ 12:23 0:00 grep --color=auto 4239
This will also work with xterm, but i don't know how to get only the name (xfce4-terminal in this case).
