I need to remove empty files out of a directory that are over 6 hours old so I created this script and put it in cron.hourly.
#!/bin/sh cd /var/list sudo -u matt find /var/list -mmin +360 -empty -user matt -exec rm {} ;
I want to run it as matt rather than root for just an added bit of safety. Problem is I get this.
"sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo"
Is there another way to do this? As I understand the reason for this is requiretty in sudo config. If that improves security I would rather not change that setting.
