Ok, try 'echo -en "\\033[1;31mText\\033[0;39m"'

Now toy with the left part that \\033[1;31m, that is change 1;31 to
other numbers. 1 is for bold I think, 39 for red. 0;39 will give you
unbold red.

I got that from /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit from RH6.1. I wanted to add
colours to my app, but had no answer regarding colors. I then
remembered seeing RedHat in red at startup and searched through
/etc/rc.d

I kept asking about this in case one forks the term. I do this with my
little app. No answer yet, but I'd love to hear one! I keep digging!

 If it helps I use fork, then created a fifo just today and made both
communicate (not for display but for other things) using threads (I
also learned that today, and God, it works!). Of course I am using
Python a readable and understandable language as opposed to C, C++
.....

 Hope this helps a bit!
