piping output - line breaks??

Hi

I am piping output of a command to a log file. I am using >> to
append to a log file.

I want to get some white space ( line breaks between chunks of output
to make it more readable.

when i try
echo \n\n >> logfile

instead of two line breaks i get this

output 1
nn
output 2

does anyone have nay better ideas??

cheers Dave

/bin/echo -e "\n\n"

Or just echo "" >> ... (echo adds newlines by default)

Microsoft seems to have gotten a lot of mileage out of the C2 rating for
NT with no network connection. I wonder if a B3 rating for Linux with no
power cord might be of value.

Thanks
