Description Sven E. 2014-11-08 03:03:41 UTC 
In line 28 the script issues a echo -n > "$conf". The parameter -n to echo is not posix conforming and as a result -n ends up in the config file which in turn throws an error later on when the config is sourced.


Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
broken config is created

Expected Results:  
a clean config

replace with printf? truncate -s 0?

Okay, wasn't sure if that's POSIX, thanks for the feedback.
