Command File Commands
How to Print a Line with ECHO
ECHO or EC sends its arguments to standard output. Standard output normally prints on the
command terminal, but can be redirected to a file. If you use ECHO in a command file that is
executed by cron, the output will disappear unless it is redirected to a file.
ECHO adds a new line after the line it prints by adding a carriage return after the printed line.
ECHO;A does not put a carriage return after the echoed text.
For command files that will be executed from the console, use ECHO;T to have output
displayed on the console. Without the T option, ECHO will send its output to the log printer
when executed from the console.
You can use ECHO to, for instance, display a reassuring message that the command is in the
process of working.
