That one probably comes from a shell function defined in a file somewhere in /etc; start with the /etc/init.d file in question and look through the sourced files for the part that prints the OK message. It will probably have some funky characters around it, including either "^[[" or "\e[" followed by numbers and a letter; just delete those. That may need to be repeated for anything else that assumes support for the relevant ANSI escape sequences, instead of relying on termcap. I vaguely recall a Tetris clone that did that, for example. Alternatively, you could hack the terminal itself to ignore those sequences; screen or tscreen might be able to help there. - Eric /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
