Oh no! I've been caught out by something I read only last week in "Classic Shell Scripting": the -e option (means "interpret escape sequences like \n") is implemented in GNU echo, but usually this is not used as your shell has its own built-in. On Ubuntu and recent Debian /bin/sh is dash rather than bash which doesn't support -e and just prints it. Much more portable solution is to use printf, which I will update the script to do. > why this happen?
