I am wondering if there are any wrappers or something native to bash that will allow me to colorize certain output. I am a network engineer and am ssh'ing into routers all day long. I would love to be able to add some colorization rules to my bash profile that would colorize IP addresses and other bits of information. I don't want to colorize grep/echo output or pipe to another command to colorize output. I need to natively be able to colorize anything that is printed to the terminal. Does anyone know of such a package or way to do this?
