What happened to the "locate" command in 10.1 in the past couple of weeks? It suddenly vanished. I used it not that long ago (?a couple of weeks ago) and now I get the error message '-bash: locate: command not found'!
I think this version of locate came with a limitation on number of uses - can't remember how many, but once you've used them all up, that's it. No more locate. :-)
That must be it- I've used it twice, reached the limit.
Guess only way out is to reinstall 10.1 but this time I'll be more economical with the use of 'locate'. It's on my system, and I've applied all the available updates. gaf@gaflap:~> whereis locate locate: /usr/bin/locate /usr/share/man/man1/locate.1.gz
