So I put that where to have it in effect for my 45 minute runs of updatedb?
echo -en '#!/bin/sh\nexec /usr/bin/sort --parallel=N "$@"'
/usr/local/bin/sort;

It won't be overwritten, it's in /usr/local.

Frankly, I would not want updatedb to run the search with all cores. I would not be able to do anything else while it runs. :-(
It's niced 19, so shouldn't be a problem. You could also edit /etc/cron.daily/suse-updatedb or /usr/bin/updatedb cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
