From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

what I was saying was that
echo "text" | sudo tee newfilewould hang and never return and needs to be interrupted. I just noticed this does not happen in bash but I was testing in zsh.you've missed the point here I'm afraid. But I'll blame it on my for not explaining properly what I was intending to do.
ZSH is bash-compliant, but will not always behave like bash in all situations.
Add
sh -cbeforeechoand see if that worksyep. that did it. I had to wrap the entire thing in quotes though
