[MacPorts] #34221: sw_vers hangs during a build

[Chris Jones]

Hi,

As far as i am aware, MacPorts does not really work properly as a root owned cron job. See

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/34221

and in particular the discussion starting around comment 61

The work around is to run as a regular user crontab, but setup sudo to allow that user to run port via sudo without a password.
