updatedb-question

[Alexander Botero]

I was today informed of a (new) "rlocate" command for Kernel 2.6distributions. 
--> http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=05/08/31/1441206

rlocate daemon can monitor filesystem changes online, so there's no need to 
run updatedb so often.

And rlocate daemon could also monitor kbd and mouse events.

Events:
$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices
$ sudo cat /dev/input/event0 # event1, event2 etc... , move your mouse
