Bug#661873: please use --appendlog in weekly cron job

[Hannes von Haugwitz]

Package: rkhunter
Version: 1.3.8-10
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi,

the weekly cron job does not use the --appendlog option. Hence the
rkhunter.log file is rotated twice: on the one hand by logrotate (to
rkhunter.log.1) and on the other hand by the weekly cron job (to
rkhunter.log.old).

The attached patch fixes this issue.

Best regards

Hannes
