tee works for how it's being used for here; it's just wired into my brain for tasks other than writing to files with different privileges. I ended up with a similar invocation when I was solving a similar problem a couple of months ago (not sure how I'd not hit it before then) and kept searching for something more natural. I've just done a search and using tee here appears to be somewhat standard, so I guess that answers my question. Sorry for the noise!
