multiple locatedb update entries in /etc/cron.daily

[Imre Tuske]

Hi,


I'm using Kubuntu 5.10, and I seem to have two entries for updating the
[s]locate database in /etc/cron.daily. They are "find.notslocate" and
"slocate", and apart from the practical implementation, they both seem to be
doing about the same thing. Any opinions? (Shouldn't I remove one of these
files?)

export LOCALUSER
if [ -f /etc/updatedb.conf ]; then
  . /etc/updatedb.conf
fi

if getent passwd $LOCALUSER > /dev/null ; then
  cd / && nice -n ${NICE:-10} updatedb 2>/dev/null
else
  echo "User $LOCALUSER does not exist."
  exit 1
fi

#! /bin/sh

if [ -x /usr/bin/slocate ]
then
    if [ -f /etc/updatedb.conf ]
    then
        /usr/bin/updatedb
    else
        /usr/bin/updatedb -f proc
    fi
    chown root.slocate /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db
fi
