2004-05-18 -+- Guncha Ashaiz -+- cmz@hackers.lv -+- This article is good one, I found out some new things :) <br>There is just this one little problem: bash somehow calculates, where to break command line to next line, and counts in ALL the characters, not just the visible ones. So when using this technique, bash will screw up the display, if a long command line is entered. <br> <br>Any ideas how to prevent it? -+- 194.19.239.210 = Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8

2004-06-01 -+- ecks -+- njvsny@graffiti.net -+- Very informational. I was looking for a good tutorial on ANSI coloring for a long time. Thank you. A very small error, I discovered though. In your first example, you forgot to close off the tag to make it the default shell color when writing. Thought I'll point it out.

2004-07-04 -+- Cadu -+- cadusk@yahoo.com.br -+- Nico, i've read your article and noticed that at your last example (the cron startup script) we should use "echo -e" instead of "echo" in order to get scaped commands interpreted correctly. <br>regards Cadu -+- 200.174.147.246 = Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.8
