Well, I agree on that.  Even so, your example isn't really consistent in
itself - the next line uses "cat $singlefile >>authorized_keys" - so
you'll have only *one* key in there, and the ">>" is no different from
">".

That's why I assumed you meant "append new key to the end, but save the
file in any case".
