I am not sure of what you want to do but I have a nice perl script that can be used with a pipe so that you just list the regex and what color you want, including different color print on different color background, and the output is colored. It can simply be put in any kind of shell script, and used as a filter, much like you would pipe to awk, grep, or any other command that you like. You can run it alone with a -help switch, and it will give you the syntax. The more you play with it, the more you see its usage and power.

[expert] missing fronts from Qt3
I've been porting some of my applications to Mandrake 9.1 from 8.1, and I can't seem to get a Lucidatypewriter font. Is there something odd with the way the Qt libraries have been built? I tried running the example program from the QFontDatabase manual page that lists all the fonts, and Lucidatypewriter is no where to be found. But I pulled the library source, and compiled qfontdatabase.cpp and linked it with the font list program, and, surprise, Lucidatypewriter is available, along with a number of other fonts (AvantGarde, Bookman, Helvetica). Anyone know what happened? Thanks. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] postfix headers (update)
Well, I just wanted to give an update to the postfix prob. The fix? I just found out that this company just switched their email server from '.com' to '.net'. I don't know what they're doing, cause they still have the '.com' server up and running. It must have been some kind of redirect / relay because I still can't get through if I use the '.com' address from evolution, but I am able to get through if I email to the '.net' address. They definitely have something weird going on but at least I know I'm not _completely_ incompetent. Weird...

You need to place an options line into /etc/modules.conf, similar to: alias sound sb options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=0 Adjust the I/O address and DMA channel to suit; these are common values. If it's a dual-boot box, best to use the same values as the Win32 side. To test this, the equivalent insmod syntax would be: insmod sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=0 If you have the kernel-doc RPM installed, see this file for more info: /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-version/sound/Soundblaster Also, see the modules.conf man page.

This used to work but I think partially due to my recent problem, spam assassin won't start up anymore. I get execvp: no such file or directory when doing 'service spamassassin start. I think it's time to start the thing again from telinit 1 to be sure. No wonder I am getting so much spam in my inbox. Thoughts? I figure execvp is a call to look for a file, but heaven knows which one at this point. In removing and reinstalling postfix, anything could have happened.
