The -e switch causes echo to interpret backslash escapes, similar to how they're interpreted in C strings. This causes the \n to output a newline, generating two lines of output with one echo statement. If this isn't available, you can replace it with two echo statements in a subshell, like so: ( echo -e "delete volume=junk-$n"; echo yes ) | bconsole > Thanks!

Is there a way to turn off a warning Yes/No prompt? Deleting 50 volumes manually and have to answer yes every time... Alternatively is there are a way to specify multiple volumes or a range, for deletion? Tried comma separated and dash. Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
