@coldcandor sorry for the late response, but gist doesn't send out notifications :(

For the spacing, I agree it can be improved, I just admittedly never spent too much time on this.

I'll think of making this a full-fledged utility, rather than a gist, thanks for the feedback.

change /bin/bash to /bin/sh for portability
change echo -en to printf for portability and functionality (most echo implementations don't support -e)
change the use of backticks to $() to be consistent.
