Sudo Aureport Redirect output

Hi, All,

How do run aureport as root and redirect it's output to a directory that's only writeable by root?

Ex: sudo -u root aureport > /var/log/test.report
/var/log/test.report permission denied

/var/log has these permissions:
drwxr-xr-x root root

Thanks,
jaypas

Code:

sudo <command> | sudo tee /path/to/file

The output will appear on stdout AND the file. You might want stdout and stderr, in which case:

Code:

sudo <command> 2>&1 | sudo tee /path/to/file
