This is again bash specific.  On my shell (tcsh) this just gives:

gwiz% printf '\1\2\3' > powerup-boot
printf: \1: invalid escape

You can use the system printf command as follows (with the correct
values for the original topic being discovered):

	/usr/bin/printf '\x1\x13\x1' > powerup-boot

Good point.  That's much cleaner.

Just goes to show that there's lots of different ways to do the
same thing on Linux/Unix.

Of all the variations given, I think the simplest was:

	/bin/echo -ne "\001\023\001" > powerup-boot

Never did hear back from sadfsdf to see if he tried this out.
