Thanks for your report. However I believe you are confusing the external /bin/echo command with the internal built into the shell echo command. The /bin/echo does recognize those two options. /bin/echo --version echo (GNU sh-utils) 2.0 type /bin/echo /bin/echo is /bin/echo type echo echo is a shell builtin echo --version --version > Examining the binary, the expected output appears to be embedded within, > just not displayed. > > I'm pretty sure this behavior is an actual bug, and not a user error.

Please read this faq entry and see if it matches your behavior. http://www.gnu.org/software/fileutils/doc/faq/core-utils-faq.html#I%20am%20having%20a%20problem%20with%20kill Hope that helps Bob _______________________________________________ Bug-sh-utils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-sh-utils
