Being a laptop and presuming it is often powered off, I suspect it may be a case of anacron running missed cron.daily entries. An easy test would be to leave the laptop running (you can log out but leave Red Hat running), for 24 hours or longer. If it is a matter of anacron executing things like prelink or slocate (or would it show as updatedb) then leaving it on so they can run in the middle of the night, as scheduled, should clear things up. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
