How to tell if I'm logged on from console?



Rather than running xdm all the time (nobody but me ever logs in,  and I
can't remote Xdm into the machine because it's behind a firewall),  I'd
like to simply write a script in my .bash_profile that determines if I'm
logged on from the console and runs startx if I am.  

Anybody got any way for a script to tell if 
1) I'm logged onto the console
2) there's no other X process running

				Thanks
