Talk:Sudo

Bash completion command
Please explain why the user should run echo with escalated privileges. Smartass (talk) 05:37, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
 * its often a redirected command...  they are like piped commands ie command1 | command2 command 1 gets sudo, cmd 2 doesnt.  it has sudo powers at echo but not at the >> and the whole point of those are manipulating root file systems.  just try a few sudo echos, you'll be back. =D 666threesixes666 (talk) 03:12, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
