It doesn't work on my system.
blacklamb# echo -e "test event\n"
-e test event\n
blacklamb#
I looked at the man page and there is only an "-n" option:
The following option is available:
-n Do not print the trailing newline character. This may also be
achieved by appending `\c' to the end of the string, as is done
by
iBCS2 compatible systems.
What's the "-e" supposed to do?
Thanks,
Drew
