Thanks in advance.
i don't know of any nice ways :/ /sbin/ifconfig | sed "s/^[a-z]*[0-9]/`tput setaf 1`&`tput setaf 0`/" this colors the interface names in red, if you want more complicated things there are good chances you will be better with awk than sed :-) -- For far too long, power has been concentrated in the hands of "root" and his "wheel" oligarchy. We have instituted a dictatorship of the users. All system administration functions will be handled by the People's Committee for Democratically Organizing the System (PC-DOS).
