Hello,
I would like to daily run a certain script that cleans exim's queue from
frozen messages:
sudo exiqgrep -i -z | sudo xargs -L 1 exim -Mrm
I have created a file called rm_frozen_msg.sh, gave it appropriate
permissions and then installed it in my user crontab. Because it did not
work I read the man and found out that I cannot run scripts as another
(root) user. Therefore I edited /etc/crontab to instruct it to run the
file daily.
At first, it did not like sudo. As I was running it under user root
anyway, I deleted sudo from the file. Then it complained about
exiqgrep so I put the full path: /usr/local/sbin/
But my question is why can I run the command
sudo exiqgrep -i -z | sudo xargs -L 1 exim -Mrm
from the command line but I cannot use it in a file with cron?
Thanks!
