Do you really need to run ifconfig as root anyway? You shouldn't, if all you're doing is checking values.
Unless I am wrong... In Debian a regular user does not have access to ifconfig.

It took me all day but in the end, I was finally able to prevent the following log files to increase in size.
I took care of pam_unix(sudo:session) flooding my /var/log/auth.log by adding the below setting in /etc/sudoers.d/soichiro
To prevent /var/log/daemon.log to increase in size, I removed the printf in my script
To solve the /var/log/kern.log which was being flooding with messages from UFW like the below one, I executes the command sudo ufw logging off
I hope this will help someone out-there and if someone has a better way to do this, I am all hears.
