isatty() has nothing to do with whether a command was run interactively. It simply says whether a file descriptor is attached to a terminal. So with your change typing "df > out" or "df | less" wouldn't have the -h flag added. But running a script from the commandline with plain "df" in it would still have stdout attached to the terminal, and would have the -h flag added. Maybe there's something you can do if you're running from a modern shell that looks at process groups or sessions, but I'm not sure.
