Dear Maintainer, please change output format of logging functions, provided by `/lib/lsb/init-functions'. Currently, status marker -- green [ok], red [FAIL], blue [warn], etc. -- is printed at the start of terminal line. It causes numerous glitches. Here is incomplete list of them. For sake of brevity, I will talk about [ok] marker only. Other markers behave in same way. * If message contains newline, [ok] marker will displace message text. Before: [..] This is very important message After: [..] This is [ok] important message Expected: [ok] This is very important message * If message is longer then terminal width, it will be span several terminal lines, causing problem described above. Please, change format to following: Before: This is very important message... After: This is very important message... ok If message spans several lines, it will look like following: This is very important message... ok Aligning markers on right border of terminal will cause glitches when message length is equal to terminal width, so please don't. Before: This is long message ... After: This is long message .ok
