Does updatedb run periodically?
That is all

It does if your system is configured to run it periodically. :) I don't know what Distro you are running but Red Hat sets it up to run daily in the /etc/cron.daily/slocate.cron script:

slocate.cron:

Code: Select all: #!/bin/sh renice +19 -p $$ >/dev/null 2>&1 /usr/bin/updatedb -f "nfs,smbfs,ncpfs,proc,devpts" -e "/tmp,/var/tmp,/usr/tmp,/afs,/net"

It was in RH I was talking about.

ps. Check your mail/PM.
