The echo command enables you to choose whether CLI commands read from an Obey file are displayed in the CLI system view. Because you can log whatever is displayed in the CLI system view, this command also determines whether CLI commands read from an Obey file are logged.

If an Obey file includes an echo command, the new setting is effective only while commands from that Obey file are being executed. The echo setting then reverts to the state it was in when the Obey process began.

Using the echo command is equivalent to checking or unchecking the Echo check box in the CLI Properties dialog.

There is no shorthand form of the echo command.
