Ok, I've changed the script like you have shown and my script now looks like:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
echo -n 'Stopping digital processes...'
#/usr/local/xgate.ment/xgate.ment stop
#/usr/local/xgate.liver/xgate.liver stop
echo Stopped

echo -n 'Starting digital processes...'
#/usr/local/xgate.ment/xgate.ment start
#/usr/local/xgate.liver/xgate.liver start
echo Stopped
This is the output I get:
Code:
aaawcny:/home/itmike/scripts # ./digital.restart
-n Stopping digital processes...
Stopped
-n Starting digital processes...
Stopped
It's close but I'd like to have "Stopped" appended to the original, like this:
"Starting digital processes...Stopped"

Rather than underneath it. Is that possible without too much work?


Also, what does the -n argument do with echo? It doesn't seem to do anything as it printed to the terminal.
