As far as I see, most e* tools respond on an appended "|cat" or have at least a non-color option. Ok, still there are cursor positioning sequences. I tried to switch them off; I managed to do this only by modifing </sbin/functions.sh>. Further, when I give the --nocolor option to an init script only the second line of those below will lose its colour, the first one still appears in green and blue. * Caching service dependencies ... * [ ok ] * Setting clock via the NTP client 'ntpdate' ... * [ ok ] Some time ago I happened to write an equery redesign in Ruby, just for fun. It's far from perfect but it definitely won't output any colors if you don't want them. Of course, init scripts are more difficult to handle because they are written in Bash. In case anyone finds the project is worth being pursued, here's the code: http://www.bertram-scharpf.de/tmp/equery.rb Bertram -- Bertram Scharpf Stuttgart, Deutschland/Germany http://www.bertram-scharpf.de -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
