You can check stdout is a terminal using isatty() function. If not then stdout is redirected

That sounds interesting. But I don't find this function, in which unit is it?
http://www.math.uni-leipzig.de/pool/tuts/FreePascal/units/node12.html#SECTION0012369000000000000000
says it is in unit "Linux", but I still get a compilation error: Identifier not found "IsATTY"
Thanks for your help.

Object Pascal programmers should get rid of their "component fetish" especially with the non-visuals.
