# echo

    echo [on|off]

Echo controls the reports that are printed into the standard output. When `echo` is off the administrative tool only prints errors and the output of queries. When `echo` is `on`, the administrative tool report also contains a record of successful command execution.

Choosing the parameter on or off in this command controls `echo`. If `echo` is entered in the command line without a parameter, it displays the current echo setting (`on` or `off`). This command is used primarily for scripts.

The default setting for echo is `on`.
