Hm, to simplify the problem, what about: /etc/cron.daily/aaa_base_do_mandb: .... - MANPATH=$manpath - export manpath MANPATH - - /usr/sbin/makewhatis - fi + if [ -x /usr/sbin/makewhatis ] ; then + /usr/sbin/makewhatis + fi
Does this change anything ?
Don't know. Your too late I already installed the makewhatis package and hope that this will sove the prob. This must have changed in the update of the aaa-base package because it worked befor. Which Version of aaa_base did you have installed before ? But anyway: mkwhatis was only called if it was installed (there always was a "test -x /usr/sbin/makewhatis" before the call) And if "makewhatis" was not installed, I guess I'm searching in the wrong place anyway.
Could someone that still has this problem (or can reproduce it somehow) look in "pstree -ap" to find the parent process of the cpu-hogging "manpath"-process. Maybe even "strace -p PID" with the PID of the manpath process would give a hint. -- with kind regards (mit freundlichem Grinsen), Ruediger Oertel (ro@suse.de) ---------------------------------------------------------- does "DONT PANIC" give a hint ?
