Wait a minute, are you literally running the command:
echo 1>tracing_enabled

If you are, you just echoed only a newline and directed stdout, stream 1,
to the file. No? :-)

Could you try with a space:
echo 1 > tracing_enabled

Stream 0 is stdin, so... not sure what this would do. Probably nothing,
just like you experienced.
