Umm ... why would a sort of reddish script be an issue? Are other coloured scripts a security problem? Does this apply to all colours or only primary ones? And how do you colour shell scripts anyway? Is that a special switch on chmod or a different command? Can you do that on all *nixes or only System V or only BSD or only on obscure variants?




:) Just teasing ...
