Problem Statement: How to append a line to a file on a remote machine. The file on the remote machine is accessible by the root user only.
To append a line to a file on a remote machine that is accessible only by the root user, you can use the
ssh
command with the
-t
and
-t
options to run a command as the root user on the remote machine.
Here’s an example command that you can use to append a line to a file on a remote machine:
ssh -t user@remote "sudo sh -c 'echo \"your line here\" >> /path/to/your/file'"In the above command, replace
user
with the username of the user you want to log in as on the remote machine,
remote
with the IP address or hostname of the remote machine,
/path/to/your/file
with the path to the file you want to append the line to, and
your line here
with the actual line you want to append to the file.
When you run this command, you will be prompted to enter the password for the
root
user on the remote machine. Once you enter the password, the command will append the line to the file specified.
