echo

The echo command allows you to specify whether the dscli will echo each specified command, or to display a user-specified string.

If echo is turned on, each command will be printed before it is executed. The echo can also be turned on or off using the dscli profile file or the setenv command.

Parameters

on | off | message
(Optional) Specifies whether the echo is turned on or off, or if a message is displayed. If it is turned on, each command will be displayed before it is executed. If it is turned off, the dscli will not display anything before executing a command. You can also choose to echo a string of your choice. For example, if you enter echo something else, the string "something else" will be displayed. Issuing the echo command without any parameters will display whether echo is on or off.
Note: If the echoprefix variable is set, its value will be printed on the same line preceding the commands that are echoed.

Example

Issuing the echo command:
dscli> echo on

The resulting output

dscli> echo on
