Are you through with "man setterm" as well? ;-)
Something like "setterm -foreground yellow -background green -store"
should work. You can color your consoles differently using "case"
on $V_TERMINAL, or redirect the comand to /dev/ttyX, or do a score of
other tricks. I like to color the console differently when I work as
root and as a regular user, so I put the setterm command in .profile.
Enjoy, Oleg.
