💖 chkrootkit-daily(8) 💖

ok so bestie, welcome to the System Manager's Manual entry for chkrootkit-daily — yes that's the whole name, she's a hyphenated queen 👑

---

✨ NAME ✨

chkrootkit-daily — run chkrootkit and report the results 🕵️♀️

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

chkrootkit-daily

that's it. no flags. no arguments. she takes zero notes and needs zero input, main character energy fr fr 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically chkrootkit-daily runs chkrootkit(8) and then emails you the results. that's the whole gig, and she does it flawlessly 😌

she's meant to be run every single day, and the way you're supposed to do that is either:

• let the systemd(1) timer handle it (the modern way, lowkey iconic ✨)
• or set her up as a cron(1) job (the classic way, still slaying since forever 💖)

either one works, just pick your vibe 🎀

---

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀

plot twist: all the options live somewhere else. every single one of them is set and documented in:

/etc/chkrootkit/chkrootkit.conf

so if you're looking for knobs to turn, that's the file, bestie. go read it, it's giving documentation 👑
