Can someone explain why this would make the command wait forever? What is tee waiting for?
echo "test" | sudo tee newfile
What would be a scriptable workaround for such cases?
Edit: this command would not terminate in zsh. This works fine in bash tho.
ZSH is bash-compliant, but will not always behave like bash in all situations.
Add
sh -cbeforeechoand see if that worksyep. that did it. I had to wrap the entire thing in quotes though
sh -c "echo 'test' | sudo tee newfile"
