Hello Frederic, Thanks for your suggestion.
I assume that you means using a crontab entry to define the exact start time for this script. I think that this is good for machines that runs continously but not for the rest. Triggering it through a crontab entry, the task will not be executed if the computer is not running at the precise moment. I prefer to stay on the safe side and use a more flexible tool. IMHO, it is better to let anacron keeping up with this job. I suggest edit the script and renice chkrootkit execution rather than running it with cron.
