And in fact, normally my terminals do display color correctly; in my |
| 44 |
prompt above, the date is pink, the fortune is white, the cwd is green, |
| 45 |
and the actual prompt is yellow@white, then yellow again. |

No. I don't actually use colordiff standalone, so no reason. I did, |
| 50 |
however, have an (unnecessary) alias around etc-update, which I have now |
| 51 |
removed, allowing it to rely solely on its sudo entry. But since I don't |
| 52 |
have any updates to diff until I get my other little problem fixed, |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
But... sudo uses a sub-shell, as I have heard many times. Is it possible |
| 55 |
that colordiff just doesn't work *in sudo*? |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
I admit, I never thought of that. This is why sudo gets on my nerves, |
| 58 |
convenient as it is; that stupid subshell seems to lack all kinds of |
| 59 |
basic (bash) shell functionality that I expect. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
Anyway, thanks for the ideas, I suspect that you've pointed me in the |
| 62 |
right direction. I'm sure I should be able to generate some updates |
| 63 |
shortly; I won't do all of them so that I can test various |
| 64 |
configurations and see if any of them work. |
