Oops! I was testing under bash...apparently echo has a somewhat broken echo command (as it seems like you already found out). The simple change works for both bash and ash, and is still smaller:
Change: > echo -e -n "\b$i" To: echo -e -n "\b" echo -n "$i" Of course, there's always the alternate tack of: while : ; do for i in 134 174 057 055 ; do echo -e -n "\b\\$i" sleep 1 done done But that's probably even more confusing...
