You can create a Bash script that checks if a specific Python virtual environment (venv) is active or not. In this case, you want to check for a virtual environment named "askbot". Here's a simple Bash script to do that:

#!/bin/bash

# Check if the 'askbot' virtual environment is active
if [[ "$VIRTUAL_ENV" == *"/askbot"* ]]; then
    echo "The 'askbot' virtual environment is active."
else
    echo "The 'askbot' virtual environment is NOT active."
fi

This script checks the value of the VIRTUALENV environment variable, which is set when a Python virtual environment is activated. If the value of VIRTUALENV contains the substring "/askbot", it means the "askbot" virtual environment is active. Otherwise, it's not active.
