NAME

makewhatis.local – start makewhatis for local file systems

CONTENTS

SYNOPSIS


/usr/libexec/makewhatis.local [options] directories ...

DESCRIPTION

The makewhatis.local utility starts makewhatis(1) only for file systems physically mounted on the system where makewhatis.local is being executed. Running makewhatis by periodic weekly for rw nfs-mounted /usr may kill your NFS server -- all NFS clients start makewhatis at the same time! So use this wrapper for cron(8) instead of calling makewhatis directly.

FILES

/etc/periodic/weekly/320.whatis run makewhatis.local every week

SEE ALSO

find(1), makewhatis(1), cron(8), periodic(8)

HISTORY

The makewhatis.local utility appeared in FreeBSD 2.2 .

MAKEWHATIS.LOCAL (8) April 26, 1996
