fr24feed-status color output

[pilax]

Hello

Is there a way to disable color output of fr24feed-status ?

I made a little script to monitor my feeder and Raspbian grep does not like colors...

Thanks

what command are you running exactly?

fr24feed-status | cat

gets rid of the colors (and ok in front).
That probably happens everytime it detects that it is connected to a pipe and not a terminal.

Actually i get the impression your actual problem might be that fr24feed-status behaves differently when connected to a pipe.
To get the normal output you can use this:

script --return -c "fr24feed-status" /dev/null | grep Link

So it greps just fine on the colored output.

Very smart command indeed !
It does the trick perfectly !

Thanks
