I currently have this in my environment: export ASTERISK_PROMPT="[%H]: " which changes the prompt to hostname Ho can I make this prompt red ? thanks,
Have you tried adding ANSI color escape codes?
There's lots of documentation for BASH prompt color using escape codes.
Give those a try.
(I haven't tried it, but would make sense)

Hello,
how can I change the color of the asterisk prompt to red ?
I read in the wiki that I can use %Cn[;n]
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+CLI+Configuration
But what does this mean ?
There is no example how to actually use it.
where do I put it?
What syntax is that anyway?
How do I specify red ?
I currently have this in my environment:
export ASTERISK_PROMPT="[%H]: "
which changes the prompt to hostname
Ho can I make this prompt red ?
thanks,

When I use your example: export ASTERISK_PROMPT="%C31[%H]: " I get this prompt (voip is my hostname): [1;31m[voip]: [1;0m
I work from a similar setup. I ssh'ed to my personal PBX from an xterm window on an Ubuntu 16 workstation, your prompt seems to work: *Jeff LaCoursiere* STRATUSTALK, INC. / CTO Phone: *+1 703.496.4990 x108* Mobile: *+1 815.546.6599* Email: *jeff at stratustalk.com* <mailto:jeff at stratustalk.com> Website: *https://www.stratustalk.com* Address: *One Freedom Square 13th Floor Reston, VA 20190* <https://www.facebook.com/jeff.lacoursiere> <https://linkedin.com/in/jeff-lacoursiere-884361> <https://www.twitter.com/stratustalk> On 5/31/20 8:59 AM, Antony Stone wrote:> On Sunday 31 May 2020 at 15:44:46, Fourhundred Thecat wrote: > >> Hello, >> >> how can I change the color of the asterisk prompt to red ? >> >> I read in the wiki that I can use %Cn[;n] >> >> https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+CLI+Configuration > "The CLI prompt is set with the ASTERISK_PROMPT UNIX environment variable that > you set from the Unix shell before starting Asterisk." > >> I currently have this in my environment: >> >> export ASTERISK_PROMPT="[%H]: " >> >> which changes the prompt to hostname >> >> Ho can I make this prompt red ? > "%Cn[;n] - Change terminal foreground (and optional background) color to > specified A full list of colors may be found in include/asterisk/term.h" > > So, try: > > export ASTERISK_PROMPT="%C31[%H]: " > > (I got 31 from reading the term.h file.) > > > Regards, > > > Antony. >-------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
