This command duplicates its stdin. One copy goes to stdout, the other copy to the mentioned file. If you want to run more complicated commands as root, e.g. a whole pipe, you can do (note the quotes after -c ): sudo bash -c "echo 0x7fffffff|cat > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax" this let sudo run a new shell (I used the /bin/bash) with root rights...
