The option quite literally just does a 'cat' of the logfile after the
run - regardless of whether RKH was invoked on the command-line or via
cron.

However, there are other ways of doing what you asked. From cron you
could have done:

    rkhunter --cronjob; cat /var/log/rkhunter.log   (which is pretty
much what --display-logfile does)

or
    rkhunter --cronjob; mail -s "RKH run" root </var/log/rkhunter.log

No doubt there are other ways too :-)
