| hi
i have a centos VPS and yesterday i installed maldet. so a daily cron was created, but somehow im not getting any email alerts even though i've already enabled email alerts and configured my email.
When I manually send the report its working :
>> For example SSH -> maldet --report 010715-1751.14227 adamc2014@gmail.com, in this case Im getting the report. But I would like to know why daily cron not sending me this report
my 2nd issue is maldet scan location.
report shows :
malware detect scan report for xxx
SCAN ID: 010715-1751.14227
TIME: Jan 7 17:52:26 -0800
PATH: /usr/local/apache/htdocs
RANGE: 2 days
TOTAL FILES: 664
TOTAL HITS: 0
TOTAL CLEANED: 0
===============================================
Linux Malware Detect v1.4.2 < proj@rfxn.com >
Seems like maldet cron is scannign /usr/local/apache/htdocs whereas it should scan my /home directory. Any help? should i modify my /etc/daily.cron/maldet file? If so can anyone point me which is the correct coding?
Thanks

| Have you made edits to your maldet file already? Just glancing at the contents there is some if/then logic in there to determine if it has cPanel installed, and if so, do a wildcard search on in /home/?/public_html/

| There's a big in the maldet 1.4.2 (At least we experience that issue) That the cron gets killed every night, so the report won't get sent out.
If you use version 1.5: https://github.com/rfxn/linux-malware-detect then it should work fine

| Thank you for that. I downloaded their latest sources which installed 1.4.2. I will try this version

| Hi,
Have you configured the maldet to send in notification and added the email in the maldet configuration file?
