[SOLVED] Bash changes consolle's colors by itself

Hi archers,

I've wrote a little script which ask for the result of a given random moltiplication because I was exercising with $RANDOM and something strange's happend.
No matter where I am (Tty, Tmux, Urxvt, Xterm...) Bash changes consolle's colors by itself if I do ^c to stop the script, instead of write a reply.

i.e.'s:
correct behaviour

$ 8 * 9 = ?
$ 72
$ ls
file in red    file in yellow    file in grey...

Wrong behaviour

$ 8 *9 = ?
$ ^c
$ ls
file in blue    file in green    file in white...

What the heck?

Bash version is 4.2.39(2)-release.
The script is the following:

while :
        do
            min="3"
            max="7"
            
            fat1="$(($RANDOM%$max+$min))"
            fat2="$(($RANDOM%$max+$min))"

            prod="$(($fat1*$fat2))"
            echo "$fat1 * $fat2 = ?"
            read res
            
            while [ "$res" != "$prod" ]
                do
                    echo "$prod"
                    echo "Insert the correct result."
                    tavPit
            done
            
            return 0
    done
}

Everything is up to date.

Re: [SOLVED] Bash changes consolle's colors by itself

You haven't provided enough information. For example, what is tavPit?


Also, moving to programming and scripting...

Re: [SOLVED] Bash changes consolle's colors by itself

Sorry, I didn't notice it. A really little forgetfulness.

This way it'd be more clear:

tavPit() {
    while :
        do
            min="3"
            max="7"
            
            fat1="$(($RANDOM%$max+$min))"
            fat2="$(($RANDOM%$max+$min))"

            prod="$(($fat1*$fat2))"
            echo "$fat1 * $fat2 = ?"
            read res
            
            while [ "$res" != "$prod" ]
                do
                    echo "$prod"
                    echo "Insert the correct result."
                    tavPit
            done
            
            return 0
    done
}
tavPit

Isn't it?

Re: [SOLVED] Bash changes consolle's colors by itself

tavPit starts a while loop which calls tavPit which starts a while loop which calls tavPit which starts a while loop...
Is that really what you want? Don't know how that would affect the colours tho...


You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me.

Re: [SOLVED] Bash changes consolle's colors by itself

My colours are unaffected after running the function. What does $LS_COLORS look like before and after? Is this the whole script or just a snippet because I don't see anything that should modify it.

The function is a bit convoluted, here's a slightly more straightforward version that should work the same, although it won't help with the colours.

tavPit() {
    while :
        do
            min="3"
            max="7"
            
            fat1="$(($RANDOM%$max+$min))"
            fat2="$(($RANDOM%$max+$min))"

            prod="$(($fat1*$fat2))"
            echo "$fat1 * $fat2 = ?"
            read res
            
            if [ "$res" == "$prod" ]
            then
                return 0
	    else
                echo "$prod"
                echo "Insert the correct result."
            fi
    done
}

English:
consolle => console
I've wrote => I wrote  or  I've written
which ask for => which asks for
moltiplication => multiplication
exercising with $RANDOM => using $RANDOM
something strange's happend => something strange happened

Here colors change when I send SIGINT to a running instance of my script; as said before.

When everything is working right:

Whole.

That's why I'm asking.

Thanks, I've learnt something.

Thanks for the reply anyway.

Also, many thanks again.


Edit: solved. "$LS_COLORS" must be set if you want colors.
