On 2001-05-07, Drew Tomlinson scribbled:

# Is there a way to use the redirect command to append output to an existing
# file?  For example, I issue a command like this:
#
# some_commmand > /var/log/logfile
#
# If logfile exists, the current version will be overwritten with the new
# version.  Is there a way to have the output appended to the file instead of
# overwritten?

Replace > with >> to do an append.
