clyh maybe I am just too tired. I think the other day I confirmed "which sh" replied bash. Anyway, in Obarun echo \n will unexpectedly print a newline. echo \\n will print the whack+n that I wanted. Fatdog also uses bash and acts as I expect. Is the terminal doing any parsing before bash gets the text ?
eric i prefer to use readlink instead of which to know the shell used % readlink /usr/bin/sh No special thing is made on Obarun with the shell.
