bash problem

/txt/ fags,

i have the following piece of code:

sudo -u bittorrent screen -d -m bittorrent-curses $torrentdir/$t &

im trying to redirect the output of the "bittorrent-curses" command, but im doing it wrong, im doing something like this:

sudo -u bittorrent screen -d -m bittorrent-curses $torrentdir/$t > /foo/bar.log &

but the log file is created as root, i think is saving the output of the sudo command, some quote problem maybe?

The redirect happens before the sudo, so bash tries to open the log file as the user running bash. Use this instead:
sudo -u bittorrent sh -c 'screen -d -m bittorrent-curses $torrentdir/$t > /foo/bar.log' &
