Appending a file(>>) using sudo.

>I wanted to append into a system file, that needed sudo permission:

             sudo cat Automation/other_files/hhtp_cont >> /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

>but I got the following error

             x.sh: 1: cannot create /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Permission denied

>The possible explanation for this is that (>>) works before sudo, so it is not run with the sudo power and hence gives the above stated error

        sudo bash -c  "cat Automation/other_files/hhtp_cont >> /etc/apache2/httpd.conf"
