New line in Echo command
Hi ,

This might sound little familar to you guys, but am struck with something.

i have an IF conditioned loop which will determine a variable to get used in the later part of the script.
Code:
if [ blah = blah ];
then
     if [ blah1=blah ];
     then
        Var_name="This is first line.This is second line.This is third line"

Now, when am using this Var_name in the later part of the script as mentioned below, its appearing as a whole line.

Code:
echo "For testing purpose ${Var_name}"

Please let me know what am doing here.

Note : I tried using single commands of echo -e "\n" in a shell script, its working fine. But when i tried to execute in a 50 lines shellscript its not working.
I tried to search in the forum ,for solutions, but am not able to find it. Hence , am posting a new thread.

Thanks,
P

tping

TPING(1)							   LAM COMMANDS 							  TPING(1)

NAME

       tping - Send echo messages to LAM nodes.

SYNOPSIS

       tping [-hv] [-c count] [-d delay] [-l length] nodes

OPTIONS

       -h	     Print the command help menu.

       -v	     Turn OFF verbose mode.

       -c count      Send count messages.

       -d delay      Delay delay seconds between each message.

       -l length     Each message is length bytes long.

DESCRIPTION

       The  tping  command  sends  messages  to,  and  collects replies from, a list of nodes, via the LAM echo server.  It is similar to the UNIX
       ping(8) command, and is used as a quick diagnosis of the LAM network.

       Unless options are specified, tping sends a 1 byte message an infinite number of times, displaying the roundtrip time of each message as it
       completes,  with  a delay of 1 second between roundtrips.  After the loop is broken (with keyboard interrupt, eg: ^C), tping prints statis-
       tics about all roundtrip messages.

EXAMPLES

       tping h
	   Echo messages to the local node.

       tping -v n7 -l 1000 -c 10
	   Echo 1000 byte messages to node 7.  Stay silent while working.  Stop after 10 roundtrips and report statistics.

BUGS

       There is no built-in timeout and tping will wait forever to receive an echo.  If no echo is received, due to a dead  link  or  node,  tping
       hangs.	Stop  the  process  with  a  keyboard suspend signal (eg: ^Z) and terminate LAM with lamhalt(1) or lamwipe(1) (although the use of
       lamwipe(1) is deprecated).

SEE ALSO

       lamhalt(1), lamwipe(1)
