Nodegrid CLI - Add banner message with multiple lines
The CLI command to add a login banner message with multiple lines, can be entered all on a single line. This is sometimes required when using automation tools. The 'set banner=' command requires the text to be inside double quotes and the linefeed/carriage-return escape code to use a double backslash ‘\\n’
For example: (all one line) Please note, there is a space between the set command and the banner= command
