[cobalt-users] chkrootkit notify - revisited



Not sure what's happening here, I created a job yesterday to run and notify
me when chkrootkit runs and put it cron.daily as we have discussed before on
the list.

#!/bin/sh
cd /home/tools/chkrootkit-0.35
./chkrootkit > /root/chkrootkit.out
mail -s "Hacking Check" my@xxxxxxxxx < /root/chkrootkit.out

When I enter sh /etc/cron.daily/chkrootkit.sh to test it I get the report
mailed to me. But I was expecting a report to be created this morning and
mailed to me when cron.daily ran but never got anything.

When I created the job, did I miss something? Basically all I did was:

logged into the server
su - & password
cd /etc/cron.daily
pico chkrootkit.sh
#!/bin/sh
cd /home/tools/chkrootkit-0.35
./chkrootkit > /root/chkrootkit.out
mail -s "Hacking Check" my@xxxxxxxxx < /root/chkrootkit.out
saved it, tested it and logged out.

Any help on what I may have done wrong would be a great help.

Thanks, Bob G.
