[opensuse] updatedb?
Hello, I like to use locate. I have installed the mlocate package and there is a locate command and an updatedb command. Now, what is the correct OpenSUSE way to have updatedb run daily, if not more often? And is ist autoconfigured when I install mlocate? I could not find an updatedb service in systemctl, nor is there any trace of updatedb in /etc/cron.* -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
Hello, Hello,
I like to use locate. I have installed the mlocate package and there is a locate command and an updatedb command.
locate is now part of 'mlocate'.
Now, what is the correct OpenSUSE way to have updatedb run daily, if not more often? And is ist autoconfigured when I install mlocate?
I could not find an updatedb service in systemctl, nor is there any trace of updatedb in /etc/cron.*
It's there... Look in /etc/cron.daily/mlocate.cron -Nick -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks - somehow I thought it would be "updatedb" so could not find it. -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Huh? Leap 42.1, package mlocate-0.26-22.2.x86_64 (see "rpm -ql mlocate" for list of files) uses "/usr/lib/cron/run-crons" (from package cronie-1.4.11-57.5.x86_64) to run via file "/etc/cron.daily/mlocate.cron" config via "/etc/sysconfig/locate" (Must set "RUN_UPDATEDB=yes" else will not run) and "/etc/updatedb.conf", see "man 5 updatedb.conf" (for Filesystems, Folder names, and Pathes to exclude) - Yamaban. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The file is /etc/cron.daily/mlocate.cron and the config file is: /etc/sysconfig/locate Charles -- "Whip me. Beat me. Make me maintain AIX." (By Stephan Zielinski)
