According to the awk manual, the -e option does not need to be specified
in front of 'program' (unless you need to mix program-file).

The redundant -e option can cause error when users use awk tools other
than gawk (for example, mawk does not support the -e option).

Error Example:
awk: not an option: -e
Cgroup v2 mount point not found!

Yes, the -e option is redundant. Thanks for catching that.
