[TriLUG] Brainfart... trying to remember what/where pretty bash output is called or can be found

[Lee Fickenscher via TriLUG]

Thanks for the replies!

One Fedora install had /lib/lsb/init-functions but another didn't so it
must not be part of the standard install on 24. On the one that had it,
/lib/lsb/init-functions references scripts in /etc/redhat-lsb/ and those
scripts source /etc/init.d/functions, which is where I kinda found what I
was looking for. Since I didn't want the rest of the stuff
in /etc/init.d/functions, I ended up writing a condensed version, but that
gave me a huge head start.

LUG to the rescue again.

Thanks!
