My system is a Red Hat 8.0 for a single user, which I obviously run using my user rather than root account. I am wanting to design a cron script to get tripwire to do regular integrity checks for my whole system which would require it to scan system files that my user account settings are not allowed to access. Is it (a) feasible to write a script to do this in the background *as if* root were logged on (but actually isn't) and then (b) to mail me (the user) a report upon completion? I hope that this is making sense, and just to make sure without being redundant: cron script to check system integrity recursively (requiring root privileges) with output mailed to user *without* having to invoke 'su' each time it runs? Thanks. -- ahimsa <ah...@on...> |
