How can I know in a function/script that it is run in Publish mode?

How can I know in a function/script that it is run in Publish mode? I need this feature to tune the outputs to screen. Program runs for long time and I need some feedback in normal mode but I must not have them in Publish mode. I also would like to tune some figures according to the mode: Interactive, Publish & GUI controlled.

Look at dbstack. You could write a function which looks through the stack to see if publish was used:

function out = ispublishing()
  st  = dbstack;
  out = any(arrayfun(@(x)strcmp(x.file,'publish.m'),st)); 
end
