At one point in line 257 of /lib/lsb/init-functions:
251- if log_use_fancy_output; then
252- RED=`$TPUT setaf 1`
253- NORMAL=`$TPUT op`
254- if [ $1 -eq 0 ]; then
255- echo "."
256- else
257- /bin/echo -e " ${RED}failed!${NORMAL}"
258- fi
259- else
/bin/echo is used with option `-e' to output "fancy_output". I presume
that the builtin echo is avoided to remain compatible with both dash &
bash. At another point (line 157) the builtin echo is used for another
fancy output:
153-log_failure_msg () {
154: if log_use_fancy_output; then
155- RED=`$TPUT setaf 1`
156- NORMAL=`$TPUT op`
157- echo "$RED*$NORMAL $@"
158- else
159- echo "$@"
160- fi
161-}
Either `/bin/echo -e' should be used in the second case to make sure
that special escaped chars will be interpreted in case bash is used, or
the use of `/bin/echo -e' in the first case is useless.
PS. There are other places where `/bin/echo -e' is not used for
"fancy_output".
