I've been trying to get gnome-schedule to automate bleachbit but the crons never work. So after trying a lot different things I decided to just try setting crons the normal way. I opened terminal and used crontab -e and entered the following.

* * * * * echo hello world > /home/ubdt2/file.txt

This worked.

So then I went with:

* * * * * echo The monthly disk cleanup requires root level permission, please enter your root password; sudo bleachbit --preset --clean; >/dev/null 2>&1

It doesn't do anything.

Any ideas?

    So, where do you suppose to put the sudo password? To work from cron programs should never ask user input. Use root crontab or see http://askubuntu.com/questions/192050/how-to-run-sudo-command-with-no-password – Rmano Mar 23 '15 at 12:17
