[Gllug] sudo and more interesting commands

[Tom Taylor]

scenario is I want to run a command like ...

$ echo foo > bar

as a normal user where bar is a file writable only by root.  Using sudo
I would try ...

$ sudo echo foo > bar

but that wouldn't work as only echo is being run as root, nor can I use
a sub shell ... what can I do to sudo a command that is more complicated
that <command> [args]??

Thanks
