Is it possible to configure Bash so that STDERR can be a different color than STDOUT?
In bash, the only color I know how to modify is the prompt, using \[ and \]. From the man:
\[ begin a sequence of non-printing characters, which could be used to embed a terminal control sequence into the prompt
\] end a sequence of non-printing characters
Is it possible to go further? I'd like to color the user input in a color and possibly use two different colors for stdout and stderr text printed on the screen.
My setup:
- bash-4.1.5
- Debian Squeeze
- Openbox
- my Samsung laptop at home
