sudo sdm --extract-log outputs owned by root, how about the user?

[tinker2much]

I noticed that when I do
sudo sdm --extract-log
the resulting history and apt.log files are owned by root.
So now, in the script where I run this I also do
sudo chown pi:pi history apt.log
afterwards, but it would be more convenient if the user didn't have to do that.
(Yes, I know its only one line of code...)

Good point. I’ll have a look at that. Seems like it should be owned by the same owner as the directory it’s in?
