How to append the output to a file?
Yeah.
command >> file
to redirect just stdout of command
.
command >> file 2>&1
to redirect stdout and stderr to the file (works in bash, zsh)
And if you need to use sudo
, remember that just
sudo command >> /file/requiring/sudo/privileges
does not work, as privilege elevation applies to command
but not shell redirection part. However, simply using
tee
solves the problem:
command | sudo tee -a /file/requiring/sudo/privileges
Use >>
to append:
command >> file
