Hello @chanklish,

Can you check to see if any cron jobs are configured for the RKHunter script? The root cron jobs are stored in /var/spool/cron/root. You can edit the root cron jobs using the crontab -e command.

Thank you.

Hello @chanklish,

Check for additional cron jobs in the following directories as well:

/etc/cron.d/
/etc/cron.hourly/
/etc/cron.monthly/
/etc/cron.weekly/

Thank you.
