I noticed that when power fails I loose the contents of some files I am using in a sh script.

I read and write the file this way

file="/usr/local/etc/filename"

# read file
. "${file}"

# write to file
> "${file}"

I'm thinking the file is never closed so on power failure I loose the contents of the file.

How would I code a command to close the file?

Thanks
