During system init, is there actually a $TERM to be queried? The init scripts don't actually run at a "terminal", do they? Just a thought, and may be showing my ignorance...

IMHO, why should they? The application's been provided the information that the terminal is *not* ANSI -- the app (in this case the init script status reporting code) is just not paying attention. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
