I have never seen this technique before. But being curious I tried it too and am getting: su: must be run from a terminal Also I wonder why to use echo and not cat? Wouldn't echo just output build- package-name.txt and cat it's actual content? Or does so open build-package- name as a file? Are there different implementations of su out there?
