Hello, updatedb contains ----------------- trap 'rm -f $LOCATE_DB.n; exit' HUP TERM -----------------
which makes "kill pidofupdateb" less than useful. - The shell waits for the currently running process to finish on its own, and *then* runs the action specified by trap. I've searched a little bit and failed to come up with a solution - perhaps somebody else know the secret trick.
