cecho()

if [ "$1" = "black" ]; then
open="\033[30m"
elif [ "$1" = "red" ]; then
open="\033[31m"
elif [ "$1" = "green" ]; then
open="\033[32m"
elif [ "$1" = "yellow" ]; then
open="\033[33m"
elif [ "$1" = "blue" ]; then
open="\033[34m"
elif [ "$1" = "magenta" ]; then
open="\033[35m"
elif [ "$1" = "cyan" ]; then
open="\033[36m"
fi
echo "$open $2 $3"
tput sgr0
}
cecho "green" "running processes: "
