Bug 64736 – rc-status returns error when using nocolor option inheritet from functions.sh

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andreas Kobara 2004-09-20 03:45:32 UTC]

rc-status should be able to display without color as this function is inheritet
from functions.sh. Instead it'll display an error.

genie # rc-status --nocolor
/bin/rc-status: line 31: let: COLS=25 80 - 7: syntax error in expression (error token is "80 - 7")

Please find a small patch for baselayout attached to fix that behaviour.

i already fixed the COLS in cvs a day or two ago ;)

i added the --nocolor thing too, thanks

The color-patch is out now, but the "-nc" option for rc-status has no effect
since it is not handled inside functions.sh.

Non colored output is only achived by issueing "--nocolor" to rc-status.

Could you just remove the "-nc" option in rc-status, as well as in the syntax
howto part. The "--nocolor" option itself is used by other scripts too, and
doesn't really need a shortcut like "-nc".

Thanks,
Andy.

added -nc next to --nocolor in functions.sh
