Guys,

I have an interesting question. I have a file that I need to append information to that is owned by root. Initially I wanted to use echo:

sudo echo "X" >> y.txt

sudo bash -c "echo X >> y.txt" works. Or you can put the whole thing in a script and just do sudo script.sh

sudo sed -i '/\/custompkgs/s#$#\n\n[local]\nServer = file:///repo\n#' $CHROOT/root/etc/repo.conf

How can I omit searching for a word and just tell sed to append at end of file?
