Make each tty a diff color

        Okay, maybe it's a -tad- frivolous, but I like to have each of
        my pseudo-terminals set at a different color upon login.
        I just call this script as part of profile, maybe someone else
        out there likes colorful screens too... <shrug>

        # ttycolor
        # colors [black,blue,green,cyan,red,magenta,yellow,white]
        # some options [ -bold -blink on|off ] Type setterm for more.
        tty > tty_geb
        ttynumber=`cut -c9,9 tty_geb`
        case "$ttynumber"
        in
                1) setterm  -background blue  -foreground white;;
                2) setterm  -background blue  -foreground white -bold;;
                3) setterm  -background blue  -foreground cyan  -bold;;
                4) setterm  -background blue  -foreground green;;
                5) setterm  -background black -foreground magenta;;
                6) setterm  -background green -foreground black;;
        esac
        rm tty_geb
        clear
