[SOLVED] rkhunter, chkrootkit cron

[cms9000]

I have never set anything like this up. I really don't need to but I want to, just to do it, lol.

So to get a general idea of how to do this I thought I would start with something simple. I want to set up a cron tasks for rkhunter and chkrootkit, complete with update first and then scan for each. I am not sure where to start at all. Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated. (I am so new to this I am not even sure about the proper wording for something like this, lol)

A good place to start would be the cron man page. man pages are a sort of system documentation that virtually every command (and many concepts) possess.

Open up a terminal and run the command:

man 5 crontab

This will give you documentation on cron, and the basic format of a cron file. You can edit the crontab by running the command:

crontab -e

Wikipedia also has an entry:
cron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
