I have to write a bash script that makes lot of things. I’d like to print messages as nice as init scripts do. For example:
Doing A... [OK]
Doing B... [ERROR]
....
Do you know any way to make this?
Thanks in advance

On all my Linux boxes, the code to do that is in the file:
If you include that file (
. /etc/init.d/functions) and then run your code doing this:you will get the functionality you want.
