[Xymon] Insert a newline into your custom xymon message?

Hello,

I'm wondering if there's any way to insert a newline in a message. I know it's possible to do by actually putting it on another line in the script but I don't like the way that it looks because it messes up all the indenting in the script, so that's why I was wondering if there's a newline character that xymon supports, \n doesn't work it just append a literal "\n".

An example of the way I can get it to work, but looks bad: MSG="${MSG} appended text"

How I would like it work: MSG="${MSG}\nappended text"

What about:

MSG=echo -en "${MSG}\nappended text\n"

Regards, Adam
