I've noticed that over time, MySQL creates a bunch of "binlog" files that are huge and unneeded.

I would like to set up a Hazel rule to remove these files.

Removing these files at the command prompt requires a "sudo" so I don't know how to do that in Hazel.

So, can Hazel remove files that require authentication like with sudo?

Please advise how to setup a rule, if possible for Hazel to remove these files.

Thanks

You'd either need a script to handle the password or use a setuid script, which can be dangerous.

Thanks. Probably better in this case to do this manually on a reminded schedule.

Appreciate your suggestions and advice.
