Hi everyone,

I want to insert text in my file, rc.conf : update_motd="NO"
I tried printf in my shell script with this command :
printf "update_motd="\"NO"\"\" >> /etc/rc.conf
then, that works well in console but not with my shell script
I would like to insert a \n at the end :)

Can you help me please ?

Thank you :)
