Hi,
The daily regeneration of my locate database (the execution of "updatedb") is occurring at an inopportune time and I'd like to change it (this system runs 24/7).
How can this be accomplished?
A few possibilities, depending on which suse version you have.
Sorry, that was remiss of me. It's openSUSE 11.1.
Something that will work on all versions, is to remove the script from /etc/cron.daily, put it someplace else, and add a separate entry for it in /etc/crontab
Or, at least in later suse versions, you can edit /etc/sysconfig/cron and set DAILY_TIME to the time at which you want it to run, but this will then affect all jobs in cron.daily
Thanks (to both you and Pat). This sounds like the best approach.
