does somebody see the problem here?

[Jelle de Jong]

found the solution, but not the problem :-D

cecho()
{
	if [ "$1" = "black" ]; then
		open="\033[30m"
	elif [ "$1" = "red" ]; then
		open="\033[31m"
	elif [ "$1" = "green" ]; then
		open="\033[32m"
	elif [ "$1" = "yellow" ]; then
		open="\033[33m"
	elif [ "$1" = "blue" ]; then
		open="\033[34m"
	elif [ "$1" = "magenta" ]; then
		open="\033[35m"
	elif [ "$1" = "cyan" ]; then
		open="\033[36m"
	fi
	
	echo "$open $2 $3"
	tput sgr0
}

cecho "green" "running processes: "

This will work :-P
