I’m guessing you want a script to run only once (did say whether it was per user). You could add your script to the .bashrc file – this way the script would run once when the user logs on. Alternatively run the script and export an environment variable – then check it using an if statement before you run the script again, eg;
if [ -n “$script-has-run-envar” ]; then
<source_script>
script-has-run-envar=”Yes”
export $script-has-run-envar
fi
Check the lifecycle of the environment variable is what you need though.

Hi All,

the value of the total number of terminals open. I have a requirement
where i need to execute some script only first time a terminal is
opened. I feel this is not the right place to post this but will be
glad if someone can help me out.
