Yes, it works perfectly. Many thanks! 1-Do you know some resources where I can learn more about it (escape sequences for UTF-8 and related stuff)? 2-Now I need to put this "echo" on some persistent way, to be executed every time I restart my computer. I have tried /etc/rc.d/rc.local, but rc.local runs as a last step on initialization, and I need it to run before any syslog messages be sent. Thanks. adrianorg
