This will happen regularly anyway. If you want to shorten this time, look in the exim "/usr/local/etc/exim/configure" file for how to shorten/change timeout delays then you won't need to do this.

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?
