Hello,

I'm wondering if there's any way to insert a newline in a message. I know
it's possible to do by actually putting it on another line in the script
but I don't like the way that it looks because it messes up all the
indenting in the script, so that's why I was wondering if there's a newline
character that xymon supports, \n doesn't work it just append a literal
"\n".

An example of the way I can get it to work, but looks bad:
MSG="${MSG}
appended text"

How I would like it work:
MSG="${MSG}\nappended text"


What about:

MSG=`echo -en "${MSG}\nappended text\n"`

Regards,
Adam
