There is a standard solution to this: use the "root" user to access every file, regardless of who owns it.

The other possibility would be to put your cron job into the crontab of the UID which owns the files. Every user has a separate crontab, which is a readable ASCII file. The location depends on the UNIX you are using, for instance in IBMs AIX the crontabs are located in "/var/spool/cron/crontabs/<user>" where "<user>" is the user accounts name.

Your "find" command seems to be correct save for a missing starting directory:

find <some_start_dir> –name “*.html” –mtime +30 –exec rm –f {} \;

but keep in mind that a process started from cron does not inherit the environment like a process started from an interactive shell does. if you write "find" instead of "/usr/bin/find" chances are you get a "command not found" error, because the PATH variable, which you have probably set in your login shell is not set for cron jobs. (This is, btw., the absolute number-1-error in this and the Shell-Programming-and-Scripting forum.)

I hope this helps.

bool tidy::parseFile (string $filename, [mixed $config], [string $encoding], [bool $use_include_path = false]) DESCRIPTION
Procedural style tidy tidy_parse_file (string $filename, [mixed $config], [string $encoding], [bool $use_include_path = false]) Parses the given file. PARAMETERS
o $filename - If the $filename parameter is given, this function will also read that file and initialize the object with the file, acting like tidy_parse_file(3). o $config - The config $config can be passed either as an array or as a string.

For an explanation about each option, see http://tidy.sourceforge.net/docs/quickref.html. o $encoding - The $encoding parameter sets the encoding for input/output documents. The possible values for encoding are: ascii, latin0, latin1, raw, utf8, iso2022, mac, win1252, ibm858, utf16, utf16le, utf16be, big5, and shiftjis. o $use_include_path - Search for the file in the include_path. RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 tidy.parseFile(3) example <?php $tidy = new tidy(); $tidy->parseFile('file.html'); $tidy->cleanRepair(); if(!empty($tidy->errorBuffer)) { echo "The following errors or warnings occurred: "; echo $tidy->errorBuffer; } ?> NOTES
