When I execute the following command "sudo cat .schedule.out >> /var/spool/cron/root.txt" I am getting error as "/var/spool/cron/root.txt: Permission denied" But how can I make it to write as a "non root user".
The redirection (">> /var/spool/cron/root.txt") is processed by your shell before the shell invokes sudo. Since your shell is an unprivileged process, it fails to open /var/spool/cron/root.txt for appending. You have to:
sudo sh -c 'cat .schedule.out >> /var/spool/cron/root.txt' or the like, so that a privileged sh process performs the redirection. ---IWC -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
