Hi,

Consider this (*assuming* that the user running the program
doesn't have write permission to the file.):

This will fail:
sudo echo blah >> /tmp/blah

This will work:
echo blah | sudo tee -a /tmp/blah

But an echo within the script works (for me) like the following
which is run as: sudo /usr/local/bin/SetWakeupTime.sh:

     echo "ERROR: Can't write to ${ALARM_FILE}, RC = ${RC}" >> ${ALARM_LOG}

I do have the program name in /etc/sudoers.d/mythtv.
