does somebody see the problem here?

[Jelle de Jong]

I found a way to upgrade to edgy with my epia en12000, more on that later.

But I have a lot of script that i use and a common function for echoing
colour is:

cecho()
{
	if [ "$1" = "black" ]; then
		echo -ne "\E[30m"
	elif [ "$1" = "red" ]; then
		echo -ne "\E[31m"
	elif [ "$1" = "green" ]; then
		echo -ne "\E[32m"
	elif [ "$1" = "yellow" ]; then
		echo -ne "\E[33m"
	elif [ "$1" = "blue" ]; then
		echo -ne "\E[34m"
	elif [ "$1" = "magenta" ]; then
		echo -ne "\E[35m"
	elif [ "$1" = "cyan" ]; then
		echo -ne "\E[36m"
	fi

	echo $2 $3
	tput sgr0
}

cecho "green" "text in green - running processes:"

this should work and in a script it also work when I run in directly
from xterm or xfce4-terminal.

But in a thunar launcher or custom action it does not work and screws up
the script. It is getting very frustrating because I can't find the problem.

I have attached two files a script and a launcher,

Please help.
