It pays to know the order of operations one the cmd line, as the shell interprets it. sudo lspci -vvv >/tmp/lspci.txt will create a file owned by you, not root. The reason is order of operations. first the shell sees the >, and so it opens the /tmp/lspci.txt file for writing. then, it tries to execute the command. Of course, this means that it creates/truncates the file first, even before it knows if the command exists. therefore, the following still creates a file: $ jfkldsjaklfdjsakljfdsa >/tmp/foo bash: jfkldsjaklfdjsakljfdsa: command not found but the /tmp/foo is still created. - Kevin
