Use the echo command to write a string to the output of the current console session. This is helpful for notating the output of commands when calling several in series.

Examples Jump to heading #

We print the output of show version and show info with comments in between:

nix
echo "echo --version information--; show version; echo --load balancer info--; show info" | \
  sudo socat stdio tcp4-connect:127.0.0.1:9999

nix
echo "echo --version information--; show version; echo --load balancer info--; show info" | \
  sudo socat stdio tcp4-connect:127.0.0.1:9999
