Change text color in Korn shell to highlight Error
Hi this is my first post, so forgive me if what I'm requesting doesn't make sense.
I'm connecting into a Unix server via SSH and using a Korn Shell (#!/bin/ksh). The Unix server has Oracle 11g installed on it and there are a number of scripts already setup to query the Oracle database to perform specific functions (ex: reset a user's password, etc.).
When running these scripts the output shows more information then I want to see (ex: information about the oracle database connection). I want only specific text in the output to be colored (ex: successful text = green, error text = red).
Example 1:
Example 2:
The one problem is I don't have access to edit these scripts, so I was looking at adding some custom code into the /etc/bashrc or /etc/profile file to accomplish this. Is this possible? I have been playing with adding code in the /etc/profile to change the prompt colors, but not sure how to change the color of specific text from a scripts output. Also I can look at the code inside the script, which starts out like this ($ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus maint/). Any insight into how I could do this is appreciated.
Is it possible to change the color of text in a korn shell script Menu?
I can change the color of session text through my telnet client but I want to be able to change color text in the Korn shell menu to highlight certain items. (6 Replies)
