"batch mode" and "server mode" are *very* closely related.  So I'd stay
away from any attempt to special case "batch mode".

At best, you could try and check the currently selected terminal and do
something special when that terminal is the "initial" terminal (the one
bound to stdout/stdin), but I'd rather not obscure the code to
"optimize" this case.
