  In the discussions I've been in, it's been suggested that each locate
  implementation have an update service in smf(5), such as

  svc:/application/update/slocate

  so that it's easy to reindex the filesystem.  I also agree with Jim's
  point that a cron job (which would be "svcadm restart slocate" on some
  interval) is probably part of the delivery.
