So it should be something like this (I have put /tmp/test.txt as I tested as non root user that cannot write into /) bash -c "$(/bin/echo -e "cat <<EOF | tee -a /tmp/test.txt \ \n<test> \ \n something here \ \n</test> EOF ")" I also removed the single apex from the first 'EOF'. I get: [g.cecchi at ope46 ~]$ ll /tmp/test.txt ls: cannot access '/tmp/test.txt': No such file or directory [g.cecchi at ope46 ~]$ bash -c "$(/bin/echo -e "cat <<EOF | tee -a /tmp/test.txt \ > \n<test> \ > \n something here \ > \n</test> > EOF > ")" <test> something here </test> [g.cecchi at ope46 ~]$ cat /tmp/test.txt <test> something here </test> [g.cecchi at ope46 ~]$ HIH, Gianluca
