Use /bin/echo for console output with options like non newline (-n) and/or backslash escape (-e).
Tom Zanussi reported that when he tested ftracetest, it shows "-e" and "-n" options on the console, since a system which uses dash as the alias of /bin/sh, uses dash built-in echo command which doesn't accept "-e".
To avoid this issue, use /bin/echo instead of echo for the output with options.
