Description
Generalmessages is a collection of functions to print standard status messages - those [ OK ] and [FAIL]
messages you see during Linux boot process.
The function list:
printOK Prints a standard [ OK ] message (green)
printFAIL Prints a standard [FAIL] message (red)
printNA Prints a standard [ N/A] message (yellow)
printATTN Prints a standard [ATTN] message (yellow)

Detailed interface description follows.
indent
Column to move to before printing.
Default indent is calculated as TTY_WIDTH-10. If current tty width can not be determined (for example, in
case of serial console), it defaults to 80, so default indent is 80-10=10
Examples
Run a program named MyProg, and report it's success or failure:
echo -n 'Running MyProg...'
printWAIT
if MyProg ; then
printOK
else
printFAIL
fi
