How do I get colored output to a file from a bash script running in crontab?
问题 When I run a bash script manually, the output appends my log file in the color specified using tput. When I run the bash script as a cronjob, the output loses the color. Thanks. 回答1: Your cron environment almost certainly is just not specifying a terminal type that supports colors and so tput is not returning anything. Compare: $ echo $TERM xterm-256color $ printf %q\\n "$(tput setaf 5)" $'\E[35m' $ printf %q\\n "$(TERM=dumb tput setaf 5)" '' 回答2: I put TERM=xterm export TERM in the bash
