I assume you need the newline because the script itself (or
MAGIC_HOME/broker/mgrqmrb) sends output to stdout (or stderr).

You can if you like grabe that output for reference later by doing something
like:
---
#!/bin/bash 

exec </dev/null >~/tmp/mgrqmbr.log 2>&1
$MAGIC_HOME/broker/mgrqmrb -ReusePorts &
---
