Sometimes in a shell you want to do this:
echo 'My line ' >> /etc/some_root_only_file
to a file, but it won't work. Instead, this will work:
sudo sh -c 'echo "My line" >> /etc/some_root_only_file'
but it is painful to type and easy to make error.
suwrite is an attempt to fix this. It lets you do
echo 'My line' |suwrite -a /etc/some_root_only_file
No nested quotes. Tab completion works well.
$ suwrite -h
Usage: suwrite <options> file1 file2 file3
Options:
-a, --append: Append to files instead of overwriting
-f, --force: Force overwriting existing files
