Ah ok! Making sense now. So it's most likely a terminal problem/setting in the Astlinux environment preventing it from displaying colour? So I take it Astlinux has never had colour then in the asterisk CLI ?
I'm not sure what else changed, but now I have colour in nano when editing asterisk files. Still none in the CLI. -Darryl -----Original Message----- From: Chris Abnett [mailto:eldorado...@yahoo.com] Sent: April 14, 2010 10:01 AM To: 'AstLinux Users Mailing List' Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] Asterisk CLI Questions The -c makes the asterisk run with a console.. it will run in the same terminal type as the main TTY terminal so that is why the color works then.. this is NOT a good option for a production running system.. whatever astlinux is using for its terminal type that the asterisk service runs under probably does not support ANSI color, therefore color is disabled on all connecting CLI's... The reason I use the -c option is to gain color but again im doing it on development systems which is where I most need the color... running -c runs asterisk on the main console as a regular app (not background) so it could easily be stopped and shut down (not a good idea) -Christopher -----Original Message----- From: Darrick Hartman [mailto:dhart...@djhsolutions.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2010 9:53 AM To: astlinux-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] Asterisk CLI Questions Guys, Take a look at the /stat/etc/rc.conf file. This has all of the possible settings for your system. You should never edit this file, but you can place variables from it into /mnt/kd/rc.conf (or /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/user.conf if using the web interface). ASTVERBOSE is the setting to set the asterisk verbosity. Set it to 3 and you'll get most of what you need. If you read through the init script you'll see that mentioned in there too. I'm not sure about the color. Darrick On 04/14/2010 08:43 AM, Darryl Chandler wrote: > OK.
