How to detect if a script is running via a scheduled task

Is there a way to detect if a script is runned by a scheduled task.

I have a script which gives throws a ClientAbortException because I am using cfflush. I need to detect if the script is running via a scheduled task so the script can run successfully.

This is a duplicate question as Travis said, but another answer is you could add a url parameter to the scheduled task something like ?auto= which would allow you to check the url scope to determine how it was ran.

It seems that you can check it via CGI.HTTP_USER_AGENT:

<cfif CGI.HTTP_USER_AGENT NEQ "CFSCHEDULE">
  <cfflush>
</cfif>
