In the previous post was erroneously about my chkrootkit config, which I do 
not use. I run rkhunter with the following cron.weekly script:

#!/bin/bash
RKHPATH='/usr/local/bin'

$RKHPATH/rkhunter --update

$RKHPATH/rkhunter --checkall --create-logfile --quiet --skip-keypress 
--report-mode --cronjob

The update updates a database of stuff to check.
Very simple indeed.

When run manually, it shows stuff in stages, asking for a key to continue and 
some items are displayed in color. The --skip-keypress and --report-mode and 
--cronjob stop this, probably the three are redundant.
