I think it is /etc/cron.daily/mlocate wichi internally runs updatedb - "update a database for mlocate" Check your /etc/cron.daily/mlocate. This anacron job runs every day and update your mlocate database. You can disable it or just move it to /etc/cron.weekly/ or /etc/cron.monthly/ is up to you. How many times do you use the mlocate command per day? :-p Best regards -- Mi nueva dirección es: - My new email address is: - Mon nouveau email est: j...@elsotanillo.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Usuario Linux Registrado: #257202 http://www.elsotanillo.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
