Rails - Jun 2010 - Best way to tell if you're running in a webapp environment?

Hi all,

Is there a recommended way to tell from within your Rails app whether
the app is running as a webapp vs. some other environment (rake task,
console, background worker, etc.)? I can''t think of anything better
than just grepping $0, but that seems pretty fragile.

Thanks!
Mat

Take a look at the ActionController::Request methods.  The request
headers would be where I''d start.  Seems like request.remote_ip should
let you know whether requests are coming from inside or outside your
server.

HTH,
