What is it?

A utility logging class for bash implemented in an OO interface. It prints nicely formatted messages to the console and/or logfile. The format is similar to Linux boot messages.

What does it do?

  • Appends each task line with a colored status result (terminal stdout only)
  • Makes your script's output more readable

Other Features

  • Customizable message column width
  • Quiet mode writes only to a specified log file
  • Optionally prefixes all messages with a 14 digit timestamp
  • Licensed under GPL v2

Requirements

GNU Bourne-Again Shell (BASH)
