If I might interject here, I hope you've given serious consideration to
how you're automating your chkrootkit scans.  Chkrootkit is best used as
a one-time only application:  download the source, verify the checksum,
compile, run, and analyze the results.  You would also want to upload
virgin binaries from a trusted/compatible source as well (see the
README).

Chkrootkit won't stop you from getting exploited, it will only attempt
to analyze your system for signs of it.  If you end up getting exploited
at 00:05, there's nothing to stop the intruders from altering your
instance of chkrootkit, rendering it useless.
