Determining if batch script has been started/executed from the command line (cmd) -or- To pause or not to pause?

Question

I like to have a typical \"usage:\" line in my cmd.exe scripts — if a parameter is missing, user is given simple reminder of how the script is to be used.

Similar approach...

setlocal

set startedFromExplorer=
echo %cmdcmdline% | find /i "cmd.exe /c """"%~0""" >nul
if not errorlevel 1 set startedFromExplorer=1

...

if defined startedFromExplorer pause
goto :EOF
