DESCRIPTION
- The makewhatis.local utility starts makewhatis(1) only for
- file systems
physically mounted on the system where the 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. The catman.local utility is using for same pur - poses as
makewhatis.local but for catman(1).
FILES
- /etc/periodic/weekly/320.whatis run makewhatis.local
