Hi Andreas,

Unfortunately, you can't. Syscheck used to be available as a separate package,
but I removed this option a few versions ago because no one was using it. It was
only giving us more work, because we always had to make sure that the
standalone version was working correctly...

You can have a work around that by only enabling syscheck on ossec (and
disabling everything else) and having a cron job to start it every night and
stopping it 30 minutes later (to give enough time to scan)... Not really
what you wanted, but may help.

Hi all,
I was wondering,

is syscheck available standalone? I don't need any of the other functions
and syscheck is a great tool and so easy to configure.

does it always need to run as root? Or can I configure it to run as a
different user?

And one mroe question. instead of having it running all the time as a
process, could I schedule it or call it from another software and have its
results in the logs or via email?

thanks in advance
Andreas
