Version Rootkit Hunter 1.4.6 on Ubuntu 16.04

I apologize in advance for the number of questions.

1) What does the number after /usr/local/bin/rkhunter: signify?  process
number? some other code number?

2) After running sudo rkhunter -c and seeing the following, what are the
best practices for solving this?
/usr/local/bin/rkhunter: 14795: [: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/notify-osd:
unexpected operator
/usr/local/bin/rkhunter: 14795: [: /usr/bin/compiz: unexpected operator
/usr/local/bin/rkhunter: 14795: [: /usr/bin/nautilus: unexpected operator
/usr/local/bin/rkhunter: 14795: [:
/usr/lib/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-server: unexpected operator

Rootkit checks...
Rootkits checked : 480
Possible rootkits: 4

3) Also, running rkhunter as:
sudo rkhunter --rwo
produces: "You must enter an option for the program to perform."
Is this switch ONLY for cronjobs and if so, why doesn't the help file
specify that?

4) what does "checking for suspicious (large) shared memory segments [
Warning ]" mean?

5) Assuming an update is performed against not-so-sure stable files, is
there another method to run rkhunter in which it will check known valid
file signatures external to the machine?

Thank you.
