I checked but couldn’t even find the where the program folder is- tere doesnt appear to,be a lynis folder, or .lynis - I will keep checking g thouh, and good tip about adding shortcut- that will save a ,ot of time as I forget where I find things sometimes and have to start from scratch researching where they are lol
OK, looks like if it drops and disappears it purges the log reports anyhow. I guess this means there were no issues or it would display a report? I don’t like that idea, I want a report even if it is clean. Be nice as a reference to when it was last done, and when it was last known to be clean. I want each report no matter what. But here is a site that is more detailed and about halfway down it gives sample paths to the folders. It is classified as a “plugin”.

Plugin directory
The directory in which plugins can be stored is determined by Lynis. By default it tries a few paths (/usr/local/lynis/plugins /usr/local/share/lynis/plugins /usr/share/lynis/plugins and /etc/lynis/plugins). If these directories are not found, then the local work directory is being used. To use a different directory, use the —plugin-dir parameter, followed by the directory name.
