I was wondering if there is a way using sed or similar to change the colour of the word Passed to green, and if the backup fails the word failed to red,
eg
You can do that, but the colour change depends on which terminal you use to display the email. Look up "termcap" or "terminfo" ("terminfo" is the more modern one, depending on your system it is preferable) in the man pages and then find out which terminal (emulator) you are using, then use "sed" to insert the respective sequence:
Code:
# get these from terminfo
switch_2_white=""....some sequence..."
switch_2_red="....some sequence..."
switch_2_green="....some sequence..."
sed -e 's/PASSED/'"$switch_2_green"'&'"switch_2_white"'/g' \
s/BACKUP FAILED/'"$switch_2_red"'&'"switch_2_white"'/g'
The sequence you have to fill in depends on the terminal you are using. All the capabilities of all terminals known to the system are in the termcap/terminfo database. Read the manpage of terminfo/termcap about how to retrieve the information necessary, then use this procedure to get the correct (escape-)sequences, then fill these in into the variable definitions. Then, the procedure described above will work.
I cannot tell you more details, because i do not know which terminal you are using and every terminal has its own sequences. You will have to find out your terminal by issuing
Code:
echo $TERM
and searching for whatever the system displays as answer in the terminfo or termcap database.
The plethora of terminal types has, for all intents and purposes, been reduced to a single, standard type. This standard, ISO 6429 (also known as ECMA-48, and formerly known as ANSI X3.64 or VT100), is ubiquitous, and terminals that do not support it are few and far between.
