Pretty Log Output on OS X

Rails
1

Howdy,

I am using Apple’s Terminal and Rails 1.0 on Tiger.

I am tailing my log files and it seems with one of these updates things
changed a little. I see all these ‘ESC’ codes all over.

How can I make the output prettier? I’d rather not move to iTerm, not
one of
my faves.

Cheers.

You should be able to go into terminal preferences and select the
‘declare terminal type ($TERM)’ setting to ‘dtterm’ or ‘xterm-color’ -
that should fix it up for you.

Cheers,

Either this or remove log coloring altogether, see the last section in
this wiki page :
