Subject: [hobbit] need help checking a file status


We had an ‘event’ earlier in
the week where a file ended as zero-length, so I want to monitor it with
hobbit.

 
Unfortunately, it is mode 600 owned by
root, in a directory mode 600 owned by root.

 
I’d like to report this under the ‘files’
column, but I’d rather not do logfetch as suid rot.

 
Has anyone had luck using the file:command
interface to use sudo?

 
Any other suggestions?

 
TIA
