Hi, boys.
Careful...some of the readers may be "girls". :-)
My box is pretty old, so running a updatedb (for locate DB) is a bit
slow and takes too much cpu time. I seldom install something or move
files, and, in fact, I rarely use locate. So it's not necessary to run
updatedb every day.
I search /etc/rc.d, and those profiles in /etc, but didn't find anyone calling updatedb, so I don't know how to make it not run everyday automatically, or change its frequency to a week once. Where can I set its schedule of updatedb?
Have a look in /etc/cron.daily. The slocate.cron scipt can be relocated to /etc/cron.weekly.
