This is common with a new install. It runs nightly around 2am. If you
install your OS before that, it obviously won't runt until the first
nights cron tells it to.
I run it after a fresh install, and after installing or copying on a
large number of files.
Another way to find files is this.
# find / -name file-name-to-find
But locate file-name-to-find is nicer.
