I wouldn't try running both at the same time; But I do have both installed and run one at a time without issues. Suggestion: Include the reason for running both at the same time. – Jan 24 '16 at 06:31

The correct way to do this is first scheduling to run chkrootkit and then schedule to run rkhunter 5 minutes after, so that they dont run at the same time, otherwise rkhunter will report false positives when checking open ports (if you have set rkhunter to run skdet and unhide it takes longer to scan)
