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
