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.
