<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>Chaps,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hope you’re all having a good weekend, I’m sure
it’ll only be the more ‘hard core’ of you reading this, anyone
with any sanity would be out in the sunshine right now.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m running a program of mine from Linux bash script
and it currently outputs status messages to the command prompt, but they all
look a little boring to say the least, it’ll be like this.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Application Started<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Sucess<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Application Configured<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Failed<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Retry<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Application Configured<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Success<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>What I’d ideally like to do it give it a little bit of
format, so it perhaps looks something like this.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Application Started [Success]<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Application Configured [Success]<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>And perhaps have the word ‘success’ in green, or
red for ‘failed’ and things like that, just to make it a little
more presentable to the user.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any ideas on the best way to achieve this?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
