Any other opinions about this colorization stuff?
FWIW, I have no use for color coding of messages, and I also agree with other posters that sticking to the "do one thing and do it well" mantra is a good idea. Without so much as looking at the suggested patch, would it be possible to abstract the color coding part into a standalone tool? Something that takes a configuration file with regex=>color mappings, for example, allowing any user to color code any content via (pardon the uuoc): cat file | colorize That would seem useful for all sorts of applications, not just syslog messages. -Jan
