Why are you not using the cron script that comes with the package? It
should have been installed in /etc/cron.daily as tripwire-check.
The contents of the file should be something similar to:
#!/bin/sh
HOST_NAME=`uname -n`
if [ ! -e /var/lib/tripwire/${HOST_NAME}.twd ] ; then
echo "**** Error: Tripwire database for ${HOST_NAME} not
found. ****"
echo "**** Run "/etc/tripwire/twinstall.sh" and/or "tripwire
--init". ****"
else
test -f /etc/tripwire/tw.cfg && /usr/sbin/tripwire --check
fi
