Hi,

when running a linux client, you will find some adhoc environment variables ...
the following command will reveal them:

$ env | grep -i x2go

I suspect the behavior is the same under OSX.

So under bash, something like ...

if [ ! -z "$X2GO_SESSION" ]
then
   echo "load mapping ..."
fi

Best,

Sylvain
