Hi,
This follows from a case where a sh script, that generates a header file (in GMT) behaves differently in SFU than on Macs and other *nixs
csh
echo "text\n"
text\n
bash
echo "text\n"
text\n
sh (Korn shell)
echo "text\n"
text
Why is answer within ksh different?
Thanks
Joaquim Luis

Because the o/p from ksh is matching the standard (POSIX.2) for echo.
The others are not. "/bin/echo" should give the correct response as well.
You should use "/bin/echo" in any scripts rather than the shell builtin for
maximal portability.
