My objective is to to access /read udhcpd.conf file.

pi@pi:/ $ sudo /etc/udhcpd.conf
sudo: /etc/udhcpd.conf: command not found

I did check and the file exists.

I would hope I would get some kind of error indication if it did not. But that is not an issue for now.

The only way I can read the file is opening it in in editor. I use nano.

Now the file is read only , which is OK.

My question is - why is the OS telling me "command not found".
I am guessing there is some parameter / option in file itself stopping the OS to let me open it.

Here is the relevant output from OS

pi@pi:/etc $ udhcpd.conf
-bash: udhcpd.conf: command not found
pi@pi:/etc $ nano udhcpd.conf
pi@pi:/etc $ sudo udhcpd.conf
sudo: udhcpd.conf: command not found
pi@pi:/etc $

The command to read a file is cat:

cat /etc/udhcpd.conf

If you need root privileges to read it, you can get them temporarily with sudo:

sudo cat /etc/udhcpd.conf

But you still have to give a command to sudo, not just the filename.
