Though I consider Cyrille's approach the clean way for your specific
purpose, there is also a way to check for '-batch' without help from
outside. Measure [delay 1000] with [realtime] and if the result is
orders of magnitude smaller than '1000' (say 0.4), Pd has most likely
been started with '-batch' (assuming it didn't do much during the 1000ms
logical time).
