This is the latest version of the command;
/usr/sbin/chkrootkit 2>&1 | gpg 
- --keyring /home/simon/.gnupg/pubring.gpg --trust-model always -ear 
0xE94E2292 | mail -s "chkrootkit output" saulinux at safe-mail.net

This produces exactly what I want when run as root on a terminal.
However, the same command run as a cron job by root falls down;

"Output from command /usr/sbin/chkrootkit 2>&1 | gpg 
- --keyring /home/simon/.gnupg/pubring.gpg --trust-model always -ear 
0xE94E2292 | mail -s "chkrootkit output" saulinux at safe-mail.net ..

 

gpg: fatal: ~/.gnupg: can't create directory: No such file or 
directory
secmem usage: 0/0 bytes in 0/0 blocks of pool 0/32768
Null message body; hope that's ok"

Any ideas?
Simon
