Use the echo command to output a string with color and font formatting under Linux

echo Output Color font: Format Example:

Echo–e "\033[31m is changed font color character \033[0m"

where \033[31m began,

* where (3 of the start control foreground color) 1 is red, this value is replaced with 2 is green,3 Brown,4 Blue,5 Purple,6 bluish green

* background Color control string starting with 4

* Single character set font (1 is bold, 4 is underline;5 is blinking;7 reverses foreground, background)

Example:1;

\033[0m End

The format is as follows (# # represents numbers, where 3#;4#;# can write only one or several items! Must have the end character, otherwise the terminal after the display of characters are like this! Start character ends with m)

Echo-e "\033[3#;4#; #m character \033[0m changed font color "

This can be used in scripts:

Red= ' \033[31m '

Ter= ' \033[0m '

Echo-e "${red}hello${ter}"

/etc/sysconfig/init

/etc/init.d/functions---- Red Hat Many scripts call the function function of this 2 file! Read these 2 files to learn more about Shell programming skills!

Move character display:echo–e "\033[40gabc" #40 represents the number of characters moved from left to right, and then displays the ABC

Startup in the service script, and so on, the successful execution of the [OK] display:

Echo-n "Starting testservice ..." echo-e "\033[60g [\033[32mok \033[0m]"

*) regardless of the number of preceding control characters, there is only one end character.
