3 Redirect with sudo
This is not how to omit sudo password. But scripts with sudo often needs the redirect with sudo.
For below example, command can run as privilege user but the redirect cannot be executed as privilege user.
$ sudo command > /etc/file
Using “sudo su -c” enable running the redirect as privilege user.
$ sudo su -c ‘command > /etc/file’
Or tee command can be excuted as privilege user.
$ sudo command | sudo tee /etc/file
