slocate question
what is it? I got an error last night that locked up my machine, said that it could not run /usr/bin/updatedb and gave me a bunch of error info. Does anyone know if I can turn this service off so that I don't get this again? Thanks, Jake ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

If it locked up your machine I'd be inclined to think that not being able to run updatedb was another symptom and not the cause.

Re: slocate question
I didn't write all of them down, it was a screen full, looked like memory addresses. It just said that it couldn't run /usr/sbin/updatedb. This is the first time that this has ever happened. The box was up for 132 days, then this happened. I've had the box up longer than that before without problems. I haven't changed anything in the past month.

Re: slocate question
The file in in cron.daily in slocate.cron here is what's in the file... #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/updatedb -f "nfs,smbfs,ncpfs,proc,devpts" -e "/tmp,/var/tmp,/usr/tmp,/afs,/net" I don't use nfs, or samba, should those be in there if I'm not using those?
