Hello,
updatedb does not run periodically.
Where should I initiate it (cron ?).
I was wondering the same question earlier today when 'locate' failed to show a
file
I knew exists.
I noticed that there is a related service:
$ sudo systemctl status mlocate-updatedb
[sudo] password for eyal:
* mlocate-updatedb.service - Update a database for mlocate
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/mlocate-updatedb.service; static; vendor
preset: disabled
Active: inactive (dead)
I also see once daily ('round midnight) audit messages mentioning this service.
Is it related? Should it be enabled?
[I run f26]
Thank.
