Use of the echo command in shell scripting

[DarkLordoftheMonkeys]

Does the echo command send its input to the standard output of the script it's used in?

[ZekeDragon]

Echo sends its input to standard output, wherever that happens to point. If you don't direct it anywhere, it'll appear on the terminal screen that runs the script. If you direct it using a redirect it'll be used as standard input for whatever program it's redirected into.

Yes, if you're using bash:

echo MAN Page
