With that logic this echoes "echo". Question about echo!

echo `echo ` doesn't echoes anything. And it's logic. But echo `echo `echo ` ` does echoes "echo". What's the logic of it? the `echo `echo ` inside of the whole (first) echo, echoes nothing, so the first echo have to echo nothing but echoes "echo" (too much echoing :P):o

LIGHTS(1p)						User Contributed Perl Documentation						LIGHTS(1p)

NAME

       lights - DNSSEC-Tools Rollover Overview GUI Display

SYNOPSIS

	 lights [options]

DESCRIPTION

       lights gives a very simple overview of the rollover status of a set of zones.  The rollover status counts are given in a "traffic light"
       display.  In contrast, blinkenlights gives a detailed display of the roll status of a set of zones.  lights gives very little control over
       rollerd, the way blinkenlights does.  lights can halt rollerd's execution only.

       The rollover status is retrieved in one of two ways.  By default, rollerd is contacted via the rollctl command.	Alternately, if the -rrf
       option is given, then zone status is read directly from a rollrec file.	The default method gets the status directly from rollerd and the
       user need not know the location of the relevant rollrec file.  However, that method will not get zone status until rollerd is available to
       respond to the information request.  Consequently, the alternate method allows lights to bypass communicating with rollerd and not having
       to wait for rollerd to be available.

       A window is created that has three colored sections - green, yellow, and red.  The green section displays a count of those zones that are
       in "normal" status; that is, they are not in rollover.  The yellow section displays a count of those zones that are in rollover.  The red
       section displays a count of those zones that are in need of attention.  A common cause for this last state is because a zone is in phase 6
       of KSK rollover and is waiting for its parent zone to publish the child's new DS record.

       Clicking on the color rows in the main window will bring up a dialog box that lists the zones in that state.  This list will not
       automatically update as zones change rollover state.

OPTIONS

       lights supports the following options.

       -interval wait-time
	   Interval between checks of zone rollover status  By default, wait-time is given in minutes.	This can be adjusted by specifying one of
	   the following time-unit suffixes.

	   * s - seconds

	   * m - minutes

	   * h - hours

	   Examples:

	   * -interval 24 - 24 minutes

	   * -interval 24s - 24 seconds

	   * -interval 24m - 24 minutes

	   * -interval 24h - 24 hours

       -rrf rollrec-file
	   A rollrec file to be read for zone status.

       -labels
	   Labels will be given for each color field in the GUI.

       -verbose
	   Give verbose output.

       -help
	   Give a usage message and exit.

       -Version
	   Displays the version information for lights and the DNSSEC-Tools package.

REQUIREMENTS

       lights is implemented in Perl/Tk, so both Perl and Perl/Tk must be installed on your system.

KNOWN ISSUES

       The following are known issues.	These will be resolved in the fullness of time.

       o   Resizing the window leaves the color blobs in their original size.  This is an issue with the Tk widget used to display the color
	   stripes.  Other display methods are being investigated...
