Right.... And for the process of updating the private database there is no reason why the OP can't use cron to do that. The current systemd process only updates the default database. The OP could also create their own systemd units. But I'm not certain that is what they would want to do. I don't think it would be that difficult. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
