Why doesn't this work???


sudo echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gwibber-team/ubuntu hardy main"
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/gwibber.list
bash: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gwibber.list: Permission denied


Now I thought sudo was the equivalent to root permissions?

Appears he's trying an easy way to add a line to an apt-repo file.

Can you do a sudo vi of that file?



yes I can, but I wanted to do it from a shell script and wonder why my
echo doesn't work as expected?

Perhaps sudo is not the equivalent of root or echo does not inherit the
permission from sudo?

Have seen similar situations where sudo doesn't  work but issuing
the command from a root terminal does. You might try opening a
root terminal and running the echo command again to see if it
works,
