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.
John.
