That's because your _current_ shell interprets the ">>". What you want |
| 12 |
can be done with |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
sudo sh -c 'echo "app-portage/porthole ~*" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords' |
| 15 |

I guess you want to use |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
... | sudo sh -c 'cat > /var/log/foo.log' |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
You can create a short script that does both (nice idea, I currently wrote |
| 25 |
them for me, too...): |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
---:suappend:--- |
| 28 |
#!/bin/sh |
| 29 |
exec sudo sh -c "cat >> \"$1\"" |
| 30 |
---snip--- |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
and you can do: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
echo "blah" | suappend /var/log/blah.log |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
etc.pp. |
