Post the contents of /etc/cron.daily/slocate.cron and

slocate.cron is fouled up.
Even so, manually running updatedb should give me some sort of output
when I run locate filename.
[mjohnson@vader ~]$ cat /etc/cron.daily/slocate.cron
#!/bin/sh
renice +19 -p $$ >/dev/null 2>&1
#/usr/bin/updatedb -f "nfs,smbfs,ncpfs,proc,devpts" -e "/"
/usr/bin/updatedb -f "proc,devpts"
[mjohnson@vader ~]$ cat /etc/updatedb.conf
DAILY_UPDATE="yes"
PRUNEFS="devpts NFS nfs afs sfs proc smbfs autofs auto iso9660"
PRUNEPATHS="/tmp /usr/tmp /var/tmp /afs /net /sfs"
export PRUNEFS
export PRUNEPATHS
This is an RHEL3 box, right? Here is what mine contain on RHEL3
systems.
RHEL3, yes.
# cat /etc/cron.daily/slocate.cron
#!/bin/sh
renice +19 -p $$ >/dev/null 2>&1
/usr/bin/updatedb -f "nfs,smbfs,ncpfs,proc,devpts" -e
"/tmp,/var/tmp,/usr/tmp,/afs,/net"
# cat /etc/updatedb.conf
PRUNEFS="devpts NFS nfs afs sfs proc smbfs autofs auto iso9660"
PRUNEPATHS="/tmp /usr/tmp /var/tmp /afs /net /sfs"
export PRUNEFS
export PRUNEPATHS
Other things you might check. Anything in /var/lib/slocate/?
What does "rpm -V slocate" return?
After re-entering the slocate.cron and updatedb.conf it works. There
may have been a stray crlf or space or something in there.
Nevertheless, it works now. Thanks for the help.
