Hi People,

I created a shell script:
!#/bin/sh
#
#File: BK-Kerrym2Documents.sh
#
cd /home/kerrym2/Documents
#
tar --recursion -czvpf /mnt/UserBackup/BK-Kerrym2Documents.tar.gz ./
#
echo
echo BKDocuments *** Done ***
#
cd /root

When I run this shell script I get the activity list in my terminal 
window but I don't the terminating echos I have tried to display I get a 
list of files that are in the archive.  I have done a man tar and don't 
see any distinction between seeing the list of files and not seeing the 
list of files.  Is there something I might be missing about tar?
