Interesting 'mod' for making STDERR more visible: https://github.com/sickill/stderred

If you redirect stderr to a file, won't you get the escape codes in there? (Where they would likely be unwanted.)

Just tested, apparently it doesn't.

Good idea. And if you look at the source, also surprisingly simple.

Why isn't this feature in shells?

@Carpetsmoker

It is possible via SHELL, at least via ZSH, havent checked the others:

EDIT:

This one seems to work better:

exec 2>>( while read X; do print "\e[91m${X}\e[0m" > /dev/tty; done & )
