I'm not sure that is wise. It takes under a minute in my system, which is five years old...
Doesn't it recreate the mandb, whenever it actually installs new man pages with rpm? I haven't looked lately, but it seems more appropriate to do it at that time, than in a cron ... since, unless I'm "editing" the pages, they're pretty much gonna stay the same.
Its not so simple. Man pages are expanded and processed to be read; a second read uses the already processed page. After some days not beeing used, the expanded pages get erased. If I'm not mistaken, the index has to track all those pages. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEePUqtTMYHG2NR9URAo2TAJ934dB0OTj6kY2VkZNLxCQdvnSbCgCfYWvU luti4TVfT4oCOR2CQeyIFpw= =vyXC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
