I generally have ls aliased to 'ls --color=none' and that works fine. In my post I used ls as a simple example of a program that can/does use escape sequences. Other programs that use escape sequences are emerge and runscript (used in starting services). Alias 'emerge --color' suppresses ansi color sequences for direct invocations of emerge (because the alias is used for that). I also use 'eix-sync' which runs emerge. In _this_ instance, ansi escape sequences are _not_ suppressed and I do find them annoying. Now that I'm home from work, I have the time to experiment :-> -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
