I've got a system with Ubuntu 12.04 which has rkhunter installed. Currently the rkhunter daily scan script is located in
Every day at 7pm EST the rkhunter script is executed and the following is added to the
Info: Start date is Tue May 22 19:00:29 EDT 2012
However, here are the contents of my
SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin # m h dom mon dow user command 17 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly 25 3 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily ) 47 6 * * 7 root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly ) 52 6 1 * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly )
If I'm reading this correctly, it should be executing at 3:25am, not 7pm. I changed it from the default of 6:25 and nothing changed when the task actually executed.
The current output of
date matches the local time on my machine. I also have restarted cron with
sudo service cron restart since changing the crontab.
So, what am I missing here? Thanks!
