How to configure a command to run on login, but only if through telnet

How to configure a command to run on login, but only if through telnet I want to run a command every time I log in to my Ubuntu box, but only if I'm connecting through telnet, not if I'm logging in at the console.

"I personally munge the output of ""who am i"" for other reasons (setting DISPLAY). The last field seems to be the ""source"" of the login

typeset -a LOGINARRAY
# who am I format: USER TTY MON DAY TIME LOGINHOST,
# use array to get last entry
LOGINARRAY=( $(/usr/bin/who -sum) )
LASTINDEX=$(( ${#LOGINARRAY

} - 1))
LOGINHOST=${LOGINARRAY[$LASTINDEX]}
LOGINHOST=${LOGINHOST##*\(}
LOGINHOST=${LOGINHOST%%)*}
DISPLAY=$LOGINHOST:0
export DISPLAY

unset LOGINARRAY LASTINDEX

it should be easy enough to check the format of LOGINHOST to see if it's a ""remote"" login. telnet is disabled here (as it should be) so I can't explicitly check to see how it's set for telnet"
