This particular block of code appears unnecessary (since $padding is unused).
I must be missing something, because I'm pretty sure it's used.. What did I miss?



+                       paddingsize=$((60 - $namesize - $rc_argsize))
+                       until [ 0 = ${paddingsize} ]; do
+                               padding=" $padding"
+                               paddingsize=$(($paddingsize - 1))
+                       done
For safety, the conditions should probably be [ 0 -ge ${paddingsize} ]
I don't see any alternative to the until loop.  If efficiency turns out
to be a real issue then you could try doing the expansion in multiple
goes.  Eg:

                        until [ 8 -gt ${paddingsize} ]; do
                                padding="        $padding"
                                paddingsize=$(($paddingsize - 8))
                        done
                        until [ 0 -ge ${paddingsize} ]; do
                                padding=" $padding"
                                paddingsize=$(($paddingsize - 1))
                        done
Thanks for the hints. I was testing the same changes to the namesize/etc as you suggested, and it does work and is more readable and more efficient.

I've included your suggestions and put the latest changes here:

http://www.googlebit.com/freebsd/patches/rc_fancy.patch-3

Patch -3 is working good here. :)

best regards,

        Gordon

PS: next try... fancy_color_rc="YES" ;)

If I could figure out how to make sh do colors, I'd do it. :)

Thanks for testing!

Eric
