> zkServer.sh output the PID of the zookeeper process with:
> echo -n $! > "$ZOOPIDFILE"
> This uses -n which sh's builtin echo does not support. From echo's manpage.
> <snip>
>      Some shells may provide a builtin echo command which is similar or identical to this utility.  Most notably, the builtin echo in sh(1) does not accept
>      the -n option.  Consult the builtin(1) manual page.
> </snip>
> This means that echo -n PID > ZOOPIDFILE will mean the contents of ZOOPIDFILE will be "-n PID". This stops zkServer.sh stop from working correctly.
