Do a which aide and copy the result (assuming /usr/bin/aide)
Add a line to crontab -e with format
0 9 * * Sun /usr/bin/aide --check
OR to /etc/crontab:
0 9 * * Sun {user} /usr/bin/aide --check
- (1st 5: minutes, hours, day of month, month, day)
- replace {user} by your username
- Sun can be replaced by either 0 or 7.

you really should know how to check that. see for instance https://askubuntu.com/questions/795226/how-to-list-all-enabled-services-from-systemctl – Rinzwind Oct 10 '19 at 09:34

I still run the AIDE process every day, despite crontab asking for help what I did wrong. In the attachment there is a photo from "crontab -e". – tomasz-groch Oct 18 '19 at 05:09
