I run command:

find /var/www/html/wp-content/uploads/2015/file.jpg | xargs /usr/local/bin/jpegoptim --max=90 --all-progressive --strip-all --strip-com --strip-exif -- strip-iptc --strip-icc

and then i have to:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/

To change back the ownership. How can I run the original command without changing file attributes?

Thanks,

  • I think sudo username does the part about running as another user, but I'm not completely sure.

Putting sudo -u username before your command will solve your problem.
