Escape sequence
Hi,
I have got an application through which an user will submit an address like "c:\tuser\abc".
This application calls a script and passes the address to the scripts positional parameter say $1.
So $1 should contain "c:\tuser\abc", but when $1 is echoed the "\t" and "\a" are interpreted to escape sequence 'tab' and 'bell'.
I cannot ask the user to enter the address in any other format.
Please let me know how to resolve this issue.
TIA,
Puspendu

I ran the following grep and sed command.
grep "\t" emp.txt
sed -n '/\t/p' emp.txt
grep treated the '\' as to escape t and took the pattern as literal t whereas sed took the pattern as tab.
That means , grep doesn't understand escape sequence!!!!!!

service
service(8) System Manager's Manual service(8)
NAME
service - run a System V init script
SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
service --status-all
service --help | -h | --version
DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with current working
directory set to /.
The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the
invoked script, service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS it to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and
stop commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start
command.
service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.
If the init script file does not exist, the script tries to use legacy actions. If there is no suitable legacy action found and COMMAND is
one of actions specified in LSB Core Specification, input is redirected to the systemctl. Otherwise the command fails with return code 2.
FILES
/etc/init.d
The directory containing System V init scripts.
ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM
The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.
