To setup your environment add the following to your .profile or script.ksh
export BELL=`tput bel 2>/dev/null`
export BOLD=`tput bold 2>/dev/null`
export BLINK=`tput blink 2>/dev/null`
export PLAIN=`tput sgr0 2>/dev/null`
export UNDERLINE_ON=`tput smul 2>/dev/null`
export UNDERLINE_OFF=`tput rmul 2>/dev/null`
export REV_VIDEO_ON=`tput smso 2>/dev/null`
export REV_VIDEO_OFF=`tput rmul 2>/dev/null`
An example of how to use them:
echo "${BELL}${BOLD}Hey, Wake Up!${PLAIN}"
echo "${UNDERLINE_ON}This text will be underlined if the terminal
supports it${PLAIN}"
echo "${BLINK}Looks like FM to me${PLAIN}"
The tput commands are all correct. The issue will always be, what does the
terminal support. That always differs from user-to-user depending what
telnet tool they use and what the configuration setup for that tool is.
Stick with ${BELL} and ${BOLD} and life will be easier.
