Full Disk Access

[Jim Secan]

I run scripts via cron which execute MacPorts codes and binaries I build using various gcc compilers, several of which access data files on external storage.  When I rebuild a binary (maybe once every 4-6 months) I often run into the problem where macOS refuses to let the binary run because it has not been approved for full disk access, which hangs the entire process.

Is there any way, other than manually putting each and every little binary into the Full Disk Access list via System Settings, to proactively keep this from happening?
