Trigger Tracking

Is there a way to track what fired a trigger.  Example:  Was the trigger caused by the user updating the data, was the trigger caused by another trigger updating the data, or was the trigger caused by a batch process?

Track using debug log , punting some system.debug comments.

Do what?  I need a property on the Trigger object that tells me who caused the trigger to run.  Nothing here about debugging.

You need to implement the logic in the trigger. Like some field updated happened then ask the trigger to do some actions.

Let's see.....

 

What field do I update when the user has updated the record in the salesforce.com interface?

 

What field do I update when a trigger has updated the record?

 

What field do I update when a batch job has updated the record?

 

Oh, by the way,  how do I know that a user has updated a record, how do I know that a trigger has updated the record, and how do I know a batch job has updated the record?  If I know this I don't need to update a record!

 

 

I AM LOOKING FOR A PROPERTY ON THE TRIGGER OBJECT SO I CAN ASK WHO TRIGGERED THE TRIGGER!
