Brian Inline is the better way of course. But: How could I implement this? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Hello, Your subject line mentions 'attachment' rather than just appending the log file. For attachments the short answer is probably going to be no. An attachment can be of any type. That is, it could be plain text, as in this case, or a postscript file, or an encoded binary program, or something in a completely different language. To enable this requires carefully crafting the actual message to be sent, including special headers which will tell the receiving mail client the type of attachment being sent, its size and where it starts and ends within the message. I did try this a couple of years ago for a completely different program, and whilst it did work, it was a lot of trouble just to send an attachment. If you just want to append the log file to the output you currently receive, then you could use the '--display-logfile' option: ( date; /usr/local/bin/rkhunter --check --sk --nocolors --update --pkgmgr RPM --versioncheck --display-logfile ) \ | /bin/mail -s Rkhunter daily run on `uname -n` root If, however, you only want to see any warning messages then look at the '--report-warnings-only' option (in the man page or just type 'rkhunter -h'). Note, I have removed the ' echo ' you had because it was unnecessary.
