i am using ubuntu and my operator command does not like to work to create any files. i can use vi, save and exit to create a blank file.
the reasoning behind me wanting a blank file in the first place is because i am creating scripts and the redirction will only work if the file is created and the owner:group are both the current user/ non-root. please help sudo does not work either |
