It's a script that looks for bad servers, so it hangs a lot. I can't output to a log file because I'd never know when it's hung.Well, if you have the script in front of you, you could edit the appropriate sections and change their output lines to include colouring codes. echo -e '\033[1;33mHello World\033[0m'
In Perl, it works via the system call, thanks:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$var = "test line";
$init = "echo '\033[1;33m";
$endit = "\033[0m'";
system("echo '\033[1;33m$var\033[0m'");
system("$init$var$endit");
Hope this helps.
