Hi bakunin...

Thanks...

I was aware it was terminal related but I am never sure about the shell(s).
That was why I quoted only the one machine tested on.
I have done lots of jiggery pokery with various terminals and some work on some and
others work on others. There are common ones that seem to work on all.

My intent here was to see if it was possible to display as accurately as is possible an
8 channel login analyser type of display using shell scripting only. And so far on the MBP
I am pleasantly surprised at the outcome. Yes it would have its limitations but as an
exercise it looks like it could be fun, plus it would enhance my shell coding abilities.

You guys have been extremely helpful in informing me of the subtleties of my exploits
since I first started scripting and I never forget.

Thanks again and your reply has been helpful...
