How do I use sudo to redirect output to a location I don't have permission to write to?

Question

I\'ve been given sudo access on one of our development RedHat linux boxes, and I seem to find myself quite often needing to redirect output to a location I don\'t normally h

Answer 1

Maybe you been given sudo access to only some programs/paths? Then there is no way to do what you want. (unless you will hack it somehow)

If it is not the case then maybe you can write bash script:

cat > myscript.sh
#!/bin/sh
ls -hal /root/ > /root/test.out 

Press ctrl + d :

chmod a+x myscript.sh
sudo myscript.sh

Hope it help.
