For this purpose one may edit 'crontab' and add a tiny script, to run a scan on ones Mail directories.

  crontab -e     [ will open crontab, in vim, so one can add/delete at will ]

For this purpose, my CRON Daemon runs F-PROT each hour, to scan my Mail directories.

If you don't like using vim, you can set EDITOR to your editor of choice, and that will be used for commands like crontab, vipw, vigr, etc.
